Plasmodium vivax-like genome sequences shed new insights into Plasmodium vivax biology and evolution [PDF]

PLOS Biology, 2018
Although Plasmodium vivax is responsible for the majority of malaria infections outside Africa, little is known about its evolution and pathway to humans. Its closest genetic relative, P.

Disease progression in Plasmodium knowlesi malaria is linked to variation in invasion gene family members. [PDF]

, 2014
Emerging pathogens undermine initiatives to control the global health impact of infectious diseases. Zoonotic malaria is no exception. Plasmodium knowlesi, a malaria parasite of Southeast Asian macaques, has entered the human population. P.

An improved Plasmodium cynomolgi genome assembly reveals an unexpected methyltransferase gene expansion. [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Plasmodium cynomolgi, a non-human primate malaria parasite species, has been an important model parasite since its discovery in 1907. Similarities in the biology of P.

Frequent expansion of Plasmodium vivax Duffy Binding Protein in Ethiopia and its epidemiological significance. [PDF]

, 2019
Plasmodium vivax invasion of human erythrocytes depends on the Duffy Binding Protein (PvDBP) which interacts with the Duffy antigen. PvDBP copy number has been recently shown to vary between P. vivax isolates in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the extent of

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.

Relapses of Plasmodium vivax infection usually result from activation of heterologous hypnozoites. [PDF]

, 2007
BACKGROUND: Relapses originating from hypnozoites are characteristic of Plasmodium vivax infections. Thus, reappearance of parasitemia after treatment can result from relapse, recrudescence, or reinfection.

Evidence of Massive Horizontal Gene Transfer Between Humans and Plasmodium vivax [PDF]

, 2011
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.

Significant geographical differences in prevalence of mutations associated with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax drug resistance in two regions from Papua New Guinea [PDF]

, 2015
Drug resistance remains a major obstacle to malaria treatment and control. It can arise and spread rapidly, and vary substantially even at sub-national level.
