Population genomics of Plasmodium vivax in Papua New Guinea

间日疟原虫疟疾是一个严重的全球公共卫生问题，尽管具有严重的临床影响，并给区域疟疾控制方案带来重大问题，但尚未得到应有的重视。在一项对生活在巴布亚新几内亚疟疾流行区的人们的研究中，我们的目标是调查自然寄生虫种群的多样性，以更好地了解疟疾控制干预措施对传播和人体免疫力的可能影响。

Plasmodium vivax malaria is a serious global public health problem that has not received the attention it deserves, despite having serious clinical implications and presenting a major problem for regional malaria control programmes. In a study of people living in a malarious area of PNG, we aim to investigate the diversity of natural parasite populations, to better understand the possible effects of malaria control interventions on transmission and human immunity.
