Initiatives to eradicate malaria have a good impact on P. falciparum malaria worldwide. P.
vivax, however, still presents significant difficulties. This is due to its unique biological traits …

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 …

Ethiopia has the greatest burden of Plasmodium vivax in Africa, but little is known about the
epidemiological landscape of parasites across the country. We analysed the genomic …

The discovery that Africans were resistant to infection by Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) led to
the conclusion that P. vivax invasion relied on the P. vivax Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) …

Background The increase in detections of Plasmodium vivax infection in Duffy-negative
individuals in Africa has challenged the dogma establishing the unique P. vivax Duffy …

worldwide, causing~ 5 million cases yearly. Despite the disease's extensive burden, there …

P. malariae and P. ovale with and without P. falciparum, 4-8 cases of P. vivax have been
thought to be absent in sSA due to the erythrocyte silent Duffy-negative phenotype across a …

Background The interaction between the Plasmodium vivax Duffy-binding protein and the
corresponding Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) is primarily responsible for …

The Duffy protein, a transmembrane molecule, functions as a receptor for various
