Explore the fascinating genetic and evolutionary dimensions of malaria in ‘MALARIA: GENETIC AND EVOLUTIONARY ASPECTS’. Originally inspired by a conference honoring J.B.S. Haldane at the University of Turin, this impactful book delves into the “Malaria Hypothesis” and its significance for human populations, particularly in malaria-endemic regions of Africa and Asia. Discover how Haldane’s groundbreaking ideas, despite historical debate, have spurred vital research over the past 50 years, revolutionizing our understanding of infectious diseases. This essential read, part of the ‘Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century’ series, offers critical insights for scientists and researchers interested in the complex interplay between genetics, evolution, and disease.
