Complex infections in vivax malaria: the more you look, the more you find

Alyssa E Barry. Trends Parasitol. 2021 Dec.

Abstract

The human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax commonly causes complex multiclonal infections. Recently, Dia et al. have developed innovative methods for single-cell sequencing (SCS) of P. vivax infections by adapting an approach used previously for Plasmodium falciparum. Their studies provide fascinating new insights into P. vivax intrahost diversity and evolution.

Keywords: Plasmodium vivax; genotyping; malaria; single-cell sequencing; whole-genome sequencing.
