DESCRIPTION:Title: Evolutionary perspectives on malaria: humans\, primates\
 , and the parasites we share\n\nAbstract: Classically called one of the st
 rongest selective pressures in human evolution\, I will discuss new comput
 ational methods we are developing to understand the ongoing host and patho
 gen pressures shaping malaria. First\, leveraging the added information th
 at distributions of genetic ancestry provide\, we infer rapid adaptation t
 o P. vivax malaria in humans from the islands of Cabo Verde. We describe a
  suite of tools that are broadly applicable to study post-admixture adapta
 tion. Then\, we consider the broader spectrum of malaria parasites across 
 primates to begin to ask why some impact human evolution and disease burde
 n more than others. To do this\, we will first need new population-genetic
  simulation methods to interpret patterns of variation in malaria parasite
 s given their complex lifecycles. \n\nSeminar CAMBAM Seminar Series\n	Zoom
