The overwhelming dominance of Duffy blood group negativity among most people living in
sub-Saharan Africa has been considered the basis of their protection from endemic …

A better understanding of the occurrence and risk of Plasmodium vivax infection among
Duffy-negative individuals is required to guide further research on these infections across …

Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed malaria parasite affecting humans
worldwide, causing~ 5 million cases yearly. Despite the disease's extensive burden, there …

The unique biological features of Plasmodium vivax not only make it difficult to control but
also to eventually eliminate. For the transmission of the malaria parasite from infected …

Malaria elimination includes neglected human malaria parasites Plasmodium vivax,
Plasmodium ovale spp., and Plasmodium malariae. Biological features such as association …

The Duffy protein, a transmembrane molecule, functions as a receptor for various
chemokines and facilitates attachment between the reticulocyte and the Plasmodium Duffy …

Despite historical dogma that Duffy blood group negativity of human erythrocytes confers
resistance to Plasmodium vivax blood stage infection, cases of P. vivax malaria and …

Plasmodium parasites replicate asexually in the human host. The proportion of infections
that carries gametocytes is a proxy for human-to-mosquito transmissibility. It is unclear what …

The documentation of Plasmodium vivax malaria across Africa especially in regions where
Duffy negatives are dominant suggests possibly alternative erythrocyte invasion …

This study employs landscape genetics to investigate the environmental drivers of a deadly
vector‐borne disease, malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, in a more spatially …
