Almost 20 years have passed since the first reference genome assemblies were published
for Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite, and Anopheles gambiae, the …

Brazil currently contributes 42% of all malaria cases reported in the Latin America and the
Caribbean, a region where major progress towards malaria elimination has been achieved …

Challenges in classifying recurrent Plasmodium vivax infections constrain surveillance of
antimalarial efficacy and transmission. Recurrent infections may arise from activation of …

Plasmodium vivax is a major public health burden, responsible for the majority of malaria
infections outside Africa. We explored the impact of demographic history and selective …

The widespread distribution and relapsing nature of Plasmodium vivax infection present
major challenges for the elimination of malaria. To characterize the genetic diversity of this …

Over recent years, progress in molecular markers for genoty** malaria parasites has
enabled informative studies of epidemiology and transmission dynamics. Results have …

Background Targeted next-generation sequencing offers the potential for consistent, deep
coverage of information-rich genomic regions to characterize polyclonal Plasmodium …

Molecular surveillance for malaria has great potential to support national malaria control
programs (NMCPs). To bridge the gap between research and implementation, several …

Multiplexed PCR amplicon sequencing (AmpSeq) is an increasingly popular application for
cost‐effective monitoring of threatened species and managed wildlife populations, and …

Multiplicity of infection (MOI), also termed complexity of infection (COI), is defined as the
