Emerging antimalarial drug resistance may undermine current efforts to control and
eliminate Plasmodium vivax, the most geographically widespread yet neglected human …

During the last decade, the vast omics field has revolutionized biological research,
especially the genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics branches, as technological tools …

Relapses arising from dormant liver-stage Plasmodium vivax parasites (hypnozoites) are a
major cause of vivax malaria. However, in endemic areas, a recurrent blood-stage infection …

The dynamics of Plasmodium vivax infection is characterized by reactivation of hypnozoites
at varying time intervals. The relative contribution of new P. vivax infection and reactivation …

Although Plasmodium vivax relapses are classically associated with hypnozoite activation, it
has been proposed that a proportion of these cases are due to primaquine (PQ) treatment …

Malaria has steadily increased in the Peruvian Amazon over the last five years. This study
aimed to determine the parasite prevalence and micro-geographical heterogeneity of …

Brazil is the largest country of Latin America, with a considerable portion of its territoritory
within the malaria-endemic Amazon region in the North. Furthermore, a considerable portion …

Plasmodium vivax infections often recur due to relapse of hypnozoites from the liver. In
malaria-endemic areas, tools to distinguish relapse from reinfection are needed. We applied …

Plasmodium vivax infects a hundred million people annually and endangers 40% of the
world's population. Unlike Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax parasites can persist as a …

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