Identification of metabolomic signatures associated to the hypnozoite activation in Plasmodium vivax (HIPNOPRINT)

This study seeks to search for molecular markers capable of predicting the activation of hypnozoites, unique and dormant forms of vivax malaria. To do so, a metabolomic approach will be used in samples from patients with a chance of recurrence in several malaria endemic areas. The project is innovative because it combines strict clinical follow-up and analysis of metabolites through the processing of samples using high sensitivity and resolution instrumentalization.
