Genomic analysis of global Plasmodium vivax populations reveals insights into the evolution of drug resistance by Gabrielle C. Ngwana-Joseph, Jody E. Phelan, Emilia Manko, Jamille G. Dombrowski, Simone da Silva Santos, Martha Suarez-Mutis, Gabriel Vélez-Tobón, Alberto Tobón Castaño, Ricardo Luiz Dantas Machado, Claudio R. F. Marinho, Debbie Nolder, François Nosten, Colin J. Sutherland, Susana Campino, Taane G. Clark

“…Abstract Increasing reports of chloroquine resistance (CQR) in Plasmodium vivax endemic regions have led to several countries, including Indonesia, to adopt dihydroarteminsin-piperaquine instead. However, the molecular drivers of CQR remain unclear. Using a genome-wide approach, we perform a genomic analysis of 1534 P. vivax isolates across 29 endemic countries, detailing population structure, patterns of relatedness, selection, and resistance profiling, providing insights into potential drivers of CQR. …”
