Understanding the genetic structure of malaria parasites is essential to predict how fast
some phenotypes of interest originate and spread in populations. In the present study, we …

To examine how community-level genetic diversity of the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax
varies across time and space, we investigated the dynamics of parasite polymorphisms …

Background Plasmodium vivax is a neglected human malaria parasite that causes
significant morbidity in the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, and the Western Pacific …

Plasmodium vivax is the geographically most widespread human malaria parasite. To
analyze patterns of microsatellite diversity and population structure across countries of …

Populations of Plasmodium falciparum show striking differences in linkage disequilibrium,
population differentiation and diversity, but only fragmentary data exists on the genetic …

The naturally occurring clonal diversity among field isolates of the major human malaria
parasite Plasmodium vivax remained unexplored until the early 1990s, when improved …

Clinical trials documented alarming post-treatment Plasmodium vivax recurrence rates
caused by recrudescence of surviving asexual blood stages, relapse from hypnozoites, or …

Background Peru is one of the Latin American countries with the highest malaria burden,
mainly due to Plasmodium vivax infections. However, little is known about P. vivax …

Background The ideal malaria parasite populations for initial mapping of genomic regions
contributing to phenotypes such as drug resistance and virulence, through genome-wide …

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax is more resistant to malaria control strategies
than Plasmodium falciparum, and maintains high genetic diversity even when transmission …
