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.

Decoding Ethiopia's unique and structurally divergent Plasmodium falciparum populations using genomics

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequencing data from Plasmodium falciparum isolates in Ethiopia and sub-Saharan Africa to characterize genetic diversity and resistance markers.

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.

Rapid detection of G6PD deficiency SNPs using a novel amplicon-based MinION Sequencing Assay

This paper develops a cost-effective MinION sequencing assay to detect G6PD deficiency SNPs in malaria-endemic regions, showing high reliability and concordance with Sanger sequencing.

A molecular barcode and online tool to identify and map imported infection with Plasmodium vivax

The paper develops a molecular barcode and online tool to identify and map imported Plasmodium vivax infections using SNP analysis and machine learning.

Elusive Plasmodium Species Complete the Human Malaria Genome Set

This paper completes the human malaria genome set by presenting reference genomes for Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale, revealing unique genomic features and cryptic species within P. ovale.
