Plasmodium_vivax_genomes_from_Duffy_negative_individuals
It has recently been established that Plasmodium vivax can infect Duffy negative individuals. The genetic basis of this, and in particular whether this represents a new adaptation of Pv, is not currently known. This study will sequence Pv samples from Duffy negative and positive individuals from Ethiopia and Mali, with the goal of identifying the genetic cause of infection in Duffy negative individuals.  This data is part of a pre-publication release.
