Strain in Plasmodium falciparum We are impressed by the elegant data pre-sented by R. E. L. Paul et al. (1) on the high rate of self-fertilization in Plasmodium falci-parum, the agent of the most malignant form of malaria. This study contributes sig-nificantly to our knowledge on this patho-gen's basic biology. Nevertheless, we find that there is a major logical gap in the conclusions arrived at by Paul et al. They appropriately argue that frequent selfing in P. falciparum is a medically relevant feature, for it should favor the maintenance of "multi-locus phenotype associations, " in particular those governing virulence, drug
