Plasmodium vivax gametocytes in the bone marrow of an acute malaria patient and changes in the erythroid miRNA profile.

The article discusses the presence of plasmodium (P.) vivax gametocytes in the bone marrow of patient with acute malaria. It presents a morphological and molecular study of bone marrow aspirates and peripheral blood samples taken from patient who was diagnosed with P. vivax infection. It also provides information on the role of micro (mi)RNAs in controlling erythropoiesis during P. vivax infection.
