Understanding the population genetics of Plasmodium vivax is essential for malaria control and elimination

Alicia Arnott, Alyssa E Barry, John C Reeder Malaria Journal 2012, 11:14 (10 January 2012)

With malaria elimination back on the global agenda, mapping of global and local P. vivax population structure is essential prior to establishing goals for elimination and the roll-out of interventions.

Vivax malaria in Mauritania includes infection of a Duffy-negative individual

Nathalie Wurtz, Khadijetou Mint Lekweiry, Hervé Bogreau, Bruno Pradines, Christophe Rogier, Ali Ould Mohamed Salem Boukhary, Jamal Eddine Hafid, Mohamed Salem Ould Ahmedou Salem, Jean-François Trape, Leonardo K Basco, Sébastien Briolant Malaria Journal 2011, 10:336 (3 November 2011)

The paper further documents the susceptibility of individuals previously considered to be resistant to P. vivax infection and disease. Moreover, with previous reports, their findings in Mauritania now illustrate that the capacity of P. vivax to infect Duffy-negatives spans from coastal western Africa to eastern African study locations in Kenya and in Madagascar.
