Plasmodium knowlesi - GCA_000006355.3 (GCA000006355v3)

About the Plasmodium_knowlesi genome

Plasmodium knowlesi is a parasite of primates, especially long-tailed macaques. Its genome contains a large gene family that mimics regulators of the human immune system, while genes involved in antigenic variation (used to variably coat paratisized red blood cells to confuse the host defence system) are clustered on the tips of chromosomes, unlike other species of Plasmodia. The genome is around 2.3 Mb and the GC content is around 40%.
