Microhaplotype deep sequencing assays to capture<i>Plasmodium vivax</i>infection lineages
2024-10-18
Abstract excerpt
The elimination of Plasmodium vivax is challenged by dormant liver stages (hypnozoites) that can reactivate months after initial infection resulting in relapses that enhance transmission. Relapsing infections confound antimalarial clinical efficacy trials due to the inability to distinguish between recurrences arising from blood-stage treatment failure (recrudescence), reinfection or relapse. Genetic relatedness o...
