Traditionally, infection with Plasmodium vivax was thought to be benign and self-limiting,
however, recent evidence has demonstrated that infection with P. vivax can also result in …

The evolutionary history of Plasmodium vivax has recently been addressed in terms of its
origin as a parasite of humans and the age of extant populations. The consensus is that P …

Variable tandem repeats are frequently used for genetic mapping, genotyping, and forensics
studies. Moreover, variation in some repeats underlies rapidly evolving traits or certain …

Background In most of the Americas, the recommended treatment to prevent relapse of
Plasmodium vivax malaria is primaquine at a total dose of 3.5 mg per kilogram of body …

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

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 …

Abstract The Asia–Pacific region faces formidable challenges in achieving malaria
elimination by the proposed target in 2030. Molecular surveillance of Plasmodium parasites …

Plasmodium vivax, one of the five species of Plasmodium parasites that cause human
malaria, is responsible for 25–40% of malaria cases worldwide. Malaria global elimination …

In the last decade, advances in human population genetics and comparative genomics have
resulted in important contributions to our understanding of human genetic diversity and …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of microbial pathogens from clinical samples is a highly
sensitive tool used to gain a deeper understanding of the biology, epidemiology, and drug …
