PY - 2003 DA - 2003/07/21 TI - Pilot survey of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from the asexual blood stages of Plasmodium vivax in human patients JO - Malaria Journal SP - 21 VL - 2 IS - 1 AB - Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed human malaria, responsible for 70–80 million clinical cases each year and large socio-economical burdens for countries such as Brazil where it is the most prevalent species. Unfortunately, due to the impossibility of growing this parasite in continuous in vitro culture, research on P. vivax remains largely neglected.
