    Genomic dynamics of clinical Plasmodium vivax: comparative genomic hybridization in severe malaria cases
    (Frontiers Media, 2025-11) Das, Ashis
    Copy number variations (CNVs) in the Plasmodium vivax genome can influence key parasite traits such as erythrocyte invasion, immune evasion, drug resistance, and survival in the human host. Their potential role in severe manifestations of P. vivax malaria, such as cerebral malaria (CM) remains underexplored. In regions like India, where P. vivax is endemic, understanding genomic factors that contribute to disease severity is crucial. Given the limited understanding of genomic factors contributing to disease severity in P. vivax, this study aims to investigate genome-wide CNVs in clinical isolates from patients with cerebral and uncomplicated malaria.

    Clinical profiles of 13 children with Plasmodium vivax cerebral malaria
    (Taylor & Francis, 2011) Garg, Shilpi; Das, Ashis
    Bikaner region is endemic for both P. vivax and P. falciparum malaria. Usually, cerebral malaria is caused by P. falciparum but it has been reported recently also in P. vivax mono-infection. Epidemiologic studies and clinical descriptions of P. vivax cerebral malaria in children are rare.
