Abstract

Recent efforts to define the mitochondrial genome of malaria parasites have uncovered an unexpected complexity: there are two almost totally dissimilar organellar DNA molecules. lain Wilson, Malcolm Gardner, Jean Feagin and Donald Williamson discuss the surprising possibility that Plasmodium may have, in addition to the nuclear genome, two unrelated organellar genomes, one evidently mitochondrial and the other of unknown function.
