Population genomics of Plasmodium vivax in Panama to assess the risk of case importation on malaria elimination.

Population genomics of Plasmodium vivax in Panama to assess the risk of case importation on malaria elimination.

Malaria incidence in Panama has plateaued in recent years in spite of elimination efforts, with almost all cases caused by Plasmodium vivax. Notwithstanding, overall malaria prevalence remains low (fewer than 1 case per 1000 persons). We used selective whole genome amplification to sequence 59 P. vi...
