Splenic tropism of Plasmodium vivax in acute infection and spleen-attenuated systemic inflammation

This study compares parasite biomass in spleen-intact and splenectomized patients with acute P. vivax malaria, finding that 89% of total-body parasite biomass is splenic.

Comparison of CD4 T cell response in Plasmodium falciparum and vivax malaria

This study compares CD4 T cell responses to Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax malaria, finding similar activation and proliferation but species-specific differences in peripheral Tfh cell subsets and IL-10 production.

Vγ1+ γδ T cell-derived IL-4 initiates CD8 T cell immunity

The paper shows Vγ1+ γδ T cells produce IL-4 to activate DC and CD8 T cells, enhancing immunity against Plasmodium.

Mapping the global distribution and spread of the Plasmodium vivax-associated virus MaRNAV-1

The paper maps the geographic distribution and host associations of MaRNAV-1, a virus linked to Plasmodium vivax, using metatranscriptomic data.
