Artemisinin-based combination therapies are the main treatment for malaria. But resistance to artemisinin in Plasmodium falciparum is already spreading. What about Plasmodium vivax, the second most common malaria parasite?

In Cambodia, researchers studied 161 P. vivax infections from 87 patients treated with artesunate over 7 days. Parasite levels were closely monitored during treatment, and genomic and gene expression analyses were performed.

Good news: all infections were cleared by day 3.

However, nearly one third of infections showed slower parasite clearance. About 6% had particularly slow responses. This was not linked to patient characteristics or infection stage.

Gene analyses revealed that slow-clearing parasites had a delayed biological response to treatment, including reduced activity in genes involved in haemoglobin digestion. This may decrease the effectiveness of artesunate.

Why does this matter?

Slower clearance could allow parasites to survive long enough to develop resistance to partner drugs in combination therapies, threatening malaria elimination efforts.

This study highlights the importance of continued monitoring of P. vivax treatment response in Southeast Asia.

On the morning of March 13, the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) held the 4th edition of its PhD Day, now a key annual event in the life of the Institute. This event was an opportunity to celebrate the research, dedication, and achievements of our PhD students, and to recognize the essential role they play in IPC’s scientific community and future. As research and training are at the heart of IPC’s missions, supporting PhD students is a strategic priority for the Institute and an important contribution to training the next generation of researchers in Cambodia. IPC currently hosts 16 PhD students from 5 nationalities, including 10 Cambodian students. During this PhD Day, 12 students presented their research projects and shared their work with the wider scientific community of the Institute.

The two sessions were moderated by Dr. Anna S. Fomsgaard, PhD, postdoctoral researcher in the Virology Unit, and Dr. Sophea Iv, Research Assistant in the Epidemiology Unit.

Three researchers from the Disease Investigation Center (DIC) Wates, Indonesia recently completed a two-week training program at the Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC) from 23 February to 6 March. The training, jointly organized by IPC’s Bioinformatics and AI Applications Unit and Virology Unit, combined hands-on laboratory work with bioinformatics analysis. Participants were trained in sequencing library preparation, Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and downstream genomic analysis, including tiled-primer sequencing, SISPA-based metagenomics, and viral phylogenetics. The program focused primarily on strengthening genomic surveillance for avian influenza, while also building technical skills applicable to other agricultural and One Health threats affecting the region. Importantly, this training directly supports DIC Wates in its role as the ASEAN Bioinformatics Reference Laboratory, helping expand regional expertise in pathogen genomics and data analysis. Strengthening these capacities contributes to improved early detection, surveillance, and response to emerging diseases at the human–animal–environment interface. This activity was made possible through the support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP), part of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia.
