Comparative transcriptomics reveal differential gene expression in <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> geographical isolates and implications on erythrocyte invasion mechanisms
2023-02-16
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium vivax uses Duffy binding protein (PvDBP1) to bind to the Duffy Antigen-Chemokine Receptor (DARC) to invade human erythrocytes. Individuals who lack DARC expression (Duffy-negative) are thought to be resistance to P. vivax . In recent years, P. vivax malaria is becoming more prevalent in Africa with a portion of these cases detected in Duffy-negatives. Apart from DBP1, members of the reticulocyte bindi...
