Plasmodium vivax transcriptomes reveal stage-specific chloroquine response and differential regulation of male and female gametocytes

<i>Plasmodium vivax</i> transcriptomes reveal stage-specific chloroquine response and differential regulation of male and female gametocytes, Published online: 22 January 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08312-z

Plasmodium vivax biology is not well understood, due to a lack of in vitro culture systems and difficulties associated with studying clinical blood samples. Here, Kim et al. use gene expression profiles from P. vivax infected patient blood and show stage-specific chloroquine response and differential regulation of male and female gametocytes.
