High frequency of the Duffy-negative genotype and absence of Plasmodium vivax infections in Ghana

2020-09-24

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background The Duffy-negative phenotype is a condition which is thought to confer complete resistance against blood infection with <italic>Plasmodium vivax</italic>. However, recent studies from different malaria-endemic regions including western Africa have now shown that <italic>P. vivax</italic> can infect red blood cells (RBCs) and cause clinical disease in Duffy-negative people.
