Distinctive genetic structure and selection patterns in Plasmodium vivax from South Asia and East Africa

Distinctive genetic structure and selection patterns in Plasmodium vivax from South Asia and East Africa

The genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax strains in South Asia isn’t well described. Here, the authors sequence P. vivax from returning UK travelers and establish South Asian isolates as subpopulation distinct from East African and South East Asian isolates.
