Abstract
⺠Inter-species divergence between P. falciparum and P. reichenowi is comparable to housekeeping genes. ⺠A signature of purifying selection was detected in the proenzyme and enzyme domains. ⺠No strong evidence for positive selection was detected for SNPs in the non-repeat regions. ⺠Biased geographical distribution was observed in SNPs and in the haplotypes of the OR and SR regions. ⺠Significant genetic differentiation was detected for SNPs and OR- and SR-haplotypes among parasite populations.
