Assembled genome of an Ethiopian Plasmodium vivax isolate generated using GridION long-read technology

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Plasmodium vivax causes ~20% of malaria cases in Ethiopia. Here, we report a long-read genome assembly generated from an individual collected in 2022. P. vivax is genetically diverse across endemic regions; thus, the genome assembly of an African isolate is an important resource for the malaria research community.
