Emerging Plasmodium vivax resistance to chloroquine (CQ) may undermine malaria elimination efforts in South America. CQ-resistant P. vivax has been found in the major port city of Manaus but not in the main malaria hot spots across the Amazon Basin of ...

Return of vivax malaria in Cyprus
Malaria elimination in Europe has been the focus of significant national and international effort, and in 2015 the WHO declared for the first time that there were no indigenous cases of malaria in the WHO European region.1 However, since that time there have been several localised outbreaks of malaria in countries throughout Europe. We report two cases

Evidence of Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer Between Humans and Plasmodium vivax [PDF]
The horizontal transfer of DNA between different organisms is a major force shaping the genomes of prokaryotes, but is considered to have a minor role in eukaryotes, with only a handful of known examples, mostly of limited size.

Severe Plasmodium vivax Malaria in Pakistan
To compare the severity of Plasmodium vivax malaria with that of P. falciparum malaria, we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of 356 adults hospitalized with malaria (2009–2011) in Pakistan. P. vivax and P.

A hybrid transmission model for Plasmodium vivax accounting for superinfection, immunity and the hypnozoite reservoir [PDF]
Malaria is a vector-borne disease that exacts a grave toll in the Global South. The epidemiology of Plasmodium vivax, the most geographically expansive agent of human malaria, is characterised by the accrual of a reservoir of dormant parasites known as hypnozoites.

Plasmodium vivax poses unique challenges for malaria control and elimination, notably the potential for relapses to maintain transmission in the face of drug-based treatment and vector control strategies.

Evaluation of Plasmodium vivax malaria recurrence in Brazil
BackgroundControl of vivax malaria in endemic areas requires management of recurrence. The Brazilian National Malaria Surveillance System (SIVEP-Malária) records every case of malaria in Brazil, but is not designed to differentiate between primary and ...

KAI407, a potent non-8-aminoquinoline compound that kills Plasmodium cynomolgi early dormant liver stage parasites in vitro. [PDF]
Preventing relapses of Plasmodium vivax malaria through a radical cure depends on use of the 8-aminoquinoline primaquine, which is associated with safety and compliance issues.
