Transcriptome and histone epigenome of <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> salivary-gland sporozoites point to tight regulatory control and potential mechanisms for liver-stage differentiation

Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Plasmodium vivax is the key obstacle to malaria elimination in Asia and Latin America, largely attributed to its ability to form resilient hypnozoites (sleeper-cells) in the host liver that escape treatment and cause relapsing infections.
