Analysis of the trap gene provides evidence for the role of elevation and vector abundance in the genetic diversity of Plasmodium relictum in Hawaii.

A regression for the likelihood of infection with genotype 2 or 3 at only low-elevation revealed a highly significant effect of log (Capture) ( p = 0.0003) (goodness of fit test, p = 0.97), with the probability of infection with these genotypes again decreasing as mosquito capture rate increased (Figure 2 B).
