Genomic characterisation and phylogenetic placement of Matryoshka RNA Virus-1 associated with Plasmodium vivax malaria in Africa
2026-06-15
Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium vivax is a major cause of human malaria. It harbours Matryoshka RNA virus 1 (MaRNAV-1), a bi-segmented positive-sense RNA virus. MaRNAV-1 was first described in P. vivax and is now recognised as part of a wider group of Matryoshka viruses. These viruses also infect other haemosporidian parasites such as Leucocytozoon and Haemoproteus. The presence of MaRNAV-1 in African-origin human P. vivax, however, h...
