Potential hidden<i>Plasmodium vivax</i>malaria reservoirs from low parasitemia Duffy-negative Ethiopians: molecular evidence
2023-04-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The interaction between the Plasmodium vivax Duffy-binding protein and the corresponding Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (DARC) is primarily responsible for the invasion of reticulocytes by P. vivax . The Duffy-negative host phenotype, highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, is caused by a single point mutation in the GATA-1 transcription factor binding site of the DARC gene promoter. The...
