New Evidence for Hypnozoite-Independent Plasmodium vivax Malarial Recurrences
Trends Parasitol.
2018 Dec.
Abstract
Information provided in recent, related papers has wide-ranging implications concerning, inter alia, the transmission of malaria, drug treatment, and eradication of the disease. Additionally, the research results represent support for the idea that recurrences of Plasmodium vivax malaria can arise from both liver hypnozoites and extravascular merozoites in bone marrow.
Keywords: bone marrow; life cycle; liver; recrudescence; relapse; spleen.
