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.
