Plasmodium vivax Isolated in Duffy Negative Individuals

Malaria in Nigeria is principally due to Plasmodium falciparum and, to a lesser extent to P. malariae and P. ovale. P. vivax is thought to be absent in Nigeria in particular and sub-Saharan Africa in general, due to the near fixation of the Duffy negative gene in this population. More...
