Plasmodium

Would you say that parasitic Plasmodium is less evolvable than other earlier eukaryotes?

However, the exact life cycle of Plasmodium is still not fully understood, especially with regards to ooctyes.

Behe Responds 2007

I didn't know anything about malaria prior to reading these posts and a couple of these papers, but it's apparent to me now that Plasmodium is a terrible "model organism" for Behe to try to derive mutation rates from.

Behe Responds 2007

The evolution of parasitic Plasmodium is much more complex than Behe claims.

Behe Responds 2007

If we used the measured mutation rate in Plasmodium of 2.5E-9 (no different from that in humans), the probability of two simultaneous mutations is 6.3E-18, almost 1000-fold more likely than Behe's 10E-20.

Malaria, spread by the single-celled parasite Plasmodium, is endemic in parts of Asia, Africa, and Central and South America.
