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

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of malaria infection and antibodies against the repetitive epitopes of the circumsporozoite (CS) proteins of Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae, P. vivax VK210, P. vivax VK247, and P.

Background: Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) is considered as absent in West/Central Africa because of the high prevalence of Duffy antigen negativity in the local human population. Duffy antigen on red blood cells is the only well-known receptor allowing the

International audienceIn malaria-endemic regions, Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum coexist and may interact. For instance, fevers induced by P. falciparum might activate dormant P. vivax parasites and concurrent radical cure of both species has
