Liver stage fate determination in <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> parasites: characterization of schizont growth and hypnozoite fating from patient isolates

2022-06-16

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium vivax , one species parasite causing human malaria, forms a dormant liver stage, termed the hypnozoite, which activate weeks, months or years after the primary infection, causing relapse episodes. Relapses significantly contribute to the vivax malaria burden and are only killed with drugs of the 8-aminoquinolone class, which are contraindicated in many vulnerable populations.
