A comparative study of natural immune responses against Plasmodium vivax C-terminal merozoite surface protein-1 (PvMSP-1) and apical membrane antigen-1 (PvAMA-1) in two endemic settings [PDF]
, 2015 The mechanisms of cellular and humoral immune responses against P. vivax parasite remain poorly understood. Several malaria immunological studies have been conducted in endemic regions where both P. falciparum and P. vivax parasites co-exist.

Molecular evidence of Plasmodium vivax infection in Duffy negative symptomatic individuals from Dschang, West Cameroon [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Plasmodium vivax infection is known to be rare in West/Central Africa, the most accepted explanation being the lack of expression of erythroid Duffy antigen in the local human populations.

Plasmodium falciparum , but not P. vivax , can induce erythrocytic apoptosis [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Apoptosis can occur in red blood cells (RBC) and seems to be involved in hematologic disorders related to many diseases. In malaria it is known that parasitized RBC (pRBC) is involved in the development of anemia and thrombosis; however, non-parasitized RBC (nRBC) apoptosis could amplify these malaria-associated hematologic events.

Genomic analyses of complex P. vivax infections [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2014 Results All field isolates sequenced so far show evidence of complex infections, with typically 2-4 strains present at >5%. We show that it is possible, empirically and analytically, to rigorously differentiate these parasites and reconstruct haploid genome sequences from these complex infections.
