Frequent and genetically diverse Plasmodium vivax relapses contribute to malaria transmission in Cambodia

2026-04-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>A unique feature of Plasmodium vivax is the presence of dormant hypnozoites that cause relapses weeks after the initial infection. While relapses may account for the majority of vivax malaria cases, the determinants of relapse periodicity, the genetic relationships between parasites, and the transmission potential of relapsing parasites in endemic populations remain poorly understood.
