Brief description Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread malaria parasite causing over 80 million cases per year. Yet, current means to counter this parasite are grossly inadequate. Vast knowledge gaps exist due to unavailability of continuous cultures, high throughput drug assays and the poor understanding of transmission. This inhibits the development of new treatments for P. vivax. This project will fundamentally advance knowledge of the biology and epidemiology of this important, but neglected pathogen.
