"Vivax Malaria Research: 2002 and Beyond" (Bangkok, Thailand, 3-8 February 2002)
Responding to a pervasive sense in the malaria research community that P. vivax research had been neglected compared to P. falciparum efforts,
the first conference devoted entirely to the topic was convened in 2002. Trends in Parasitology subsequently published 'A Focus on Plasmodium vivax
Research', a collection of TiPs articles on topics presented at the meeting. These articles can be downloaded as PDF files using the links below. Several recommendations
to specifically enhance P. vivax research were also drafted.

"Vivax Malaria Research: 2005 and Beyond" (Rockville, MD, USA, 9-10 December 2005)
The second vivax malaria conference was convened at The Institute for
Genomic Research (TIGR) to mark the completion of the P. vivax genome sequence; to continue the momentum generated from
the first vivax malaria research conference held in 2002; to bring together P. vivax researchers from a multitude of
disciplines and from developed and endemic countries to discuss future priorities; and to provide hands-on experience of
bioinformatics techniques that can be used to manipulate the P. vivax genome sequence data. One product of the conference
was an updated list of recommendations for enhancing P. vivax research,
resources, and training.
