Children with Plasmodium vivax infection previously observed in Namibia, were Duffy negative and carried a c.136G > A mutation

In a previous study, using a molecular approach, we reported the presence of P. vivax in Namibia. Here, we have extended our investigation to the Duffy antigen genetic profile of individuals of the same cohort with and without Plasmodium infections.
