Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (PvDBP) is crucial for erythrocyte invasion, interacting with the Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) on the erythrocyte surface. The amino-terminal cysteine-rich region II of PvDBP (PvDBPII) is a promising blood stage vaccine candidate, yet the genetic polymorphisms of this protein in global P. vivax isolates complicate the design of effective vaccines against...
