Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Plasmodium ovale wallikeri, a parasite that causes relapses in humans similar to Plasmodium vivax, where infections can recur after a dormant phase in the liver.
- Researchers analyzed relapse patterns in travelers who contracted the parasite in sub-Saharan Africa and experienced these relapses after returning to France.
- Using genetic markers, they found that most primary infections and relapses were genetically similar, providing the first genetic evidence of relapses in P ovale species.
Since 2010, the human-infecting malaria parasite Plasmodium ovale spp. has been divided into two genetically distinct species, P. ovale wallikeri and P.

In addition, infections in endemic areas harbor multiple parasite genotypes that could affect case management and malaria epidemiology. Here, we performed AmpSeq genotyping to capture polymorphisms associated with antimalarial resistance and the genetic diversity within natural Plasmodium falciparum infections.

Children under 5 years old are those most vulnerable to CM, and they consequently have the highest risk of malaria-related death. Parasite-associated factors leading to CM are not yet fully elucidated.
