Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium vivax malaria poses a major global health challenge, fueled by the parasite's ability to establish chronic infections via dormant liver hypnozoites that enable immune evasion and show transmission resilience. A key virulence determinant of P. vivax blood-stage infection is the ligand-r...
