Malaria remains the world's leading parasitic endemic. Almost half of the world's population lives in endemic areas. Many at-risk people in African countries remain without access to malaria control. Malaria kills approximately 400,000 people each year, most of whom are children under the age of 5 in Africa. Since 2005, an increasing number of Plasmodium vivax infections have been observed in Duffy-negative populations in South America and Africa, calling into question the essential role of the PvDBP-DARC interaction. The objective of the investigators is therefore to study and understand the invasion pathways used by Plasmodium vivax in Duffy-negative subjects.
