Characterization of P. vivax blood stage transcriptomes from field isolates reveals similarities among infections and complex gene isoforms

Abstract Our understanding of the structure and regulation of Plasmodium vivax genes is limited by our inability to grow the parasites in long-term in vitro cultures. Most P. vivax studies must therefore rely on patient samples, which typically display a low proportion of parasites and asynchronous...
