Little is known of the genetic diversity and population structure of Plasmodium vivax, a debilitating and highly prevalent malaria parasite of humans. This article reviews the known polymorphic genetic markers, summarizes current data on the population structure of this parasite and discusses future prospects for using knowledge of the genetic diversity to improve control measures.
间日疟原虫是一种使人虚弱且高度流行的人类疟疾寄生虫，人们对其遗传多样性和种群结构了解甚少。本文回顾了已知的多态性遗传标记，总结了关于这种寄生虫种群结构的现有数据，并讨论了利用遗传多样性知识改进控制措施的未来前景。
