1 Plasmodium vivax malaria in Madagascar Pvivaxinfection P. infection & clinical malaria in Duffy-negative Malagasy people Ménard D, Barnadas C et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A Mar 30;107(13): Insights into the possible molecular basis

2 P. vivax interaction with Duffy is required to enable its invasion of human erythrocytes Duffy/DARC : 10 4 copies/rbc SO 4 P. vivax Duffy Binding Protein Reticulocyte Binding Protein

3 Assaults on the paradigm: Major role of the Duffy antigen in P. vivax invasion mechanisms Ryan et al, 2006 : report of anopheles infected by P. vivax in Kenya (duffy negative populations) Worldwide distribution of P. vivax From Picot S, 2006 Cavasini et al, 2007 : report of P. vivax PCR positive patients, genotyped as Duffy negative (n=2) in Brazilian Amazon region

4 Madagascar: cross road RECENT (only 2300y before present) Peopled by succession of Asian and African migrations: Admixture Coexistence of 4 human malaria species falciparum, vivax, ovale, malariae

5 Study population 8 sentinel sites, Asymptomatic Schoolchildren (3-13 y old) (Razakandrainibe et al, 2009) Malaria Patients /Health Centers ( > 6 mo) (Barnadas et al, 2008) Malaria diagnosis: PCR SSU rdna & microscopy Duffy genotyping g Duffy -33, promoter +/- (FY ES ), codon 42, FY*A or FY*B; codon 89, FY*B or FY*X

(19.4%) (26.7%) (prevalence) 190 %) Duffy genotyping was based on the SNPs Duffy -33, promoter +/-; codon 42, FY*A or FY*B; codon 89, FY*B or FY*X) using a post-pcr LDR-FMA (ligase detection reaction-fluorescent microsphere assay). Plasmodium species diagnosis was based on species polymorphisms of the small-subunit ribosomal (SSU) rrna gene.

Microsatellites : 5 loci Heterogeneity for individual loci was > 75% (No alleles/locus = 6-13) >>> Multi-lineage background ; Duffy-neg =Duffy-pos multiple extant P vivaxstrains carry the capacity multiple extant P. vivax strains carry the capacity to infect Duffy negative erythrocytes

14 Diversity of P. vivax Duffy Binding Protein Duffy Binding domain Sequenced (N=243) 21 Alleles observed Skewed distribution, 8 alleles in Duffy negatives (n=27), 21 alleles in Duffy positives (n=216) (Chi2, p<0.01). In Tsiroanomandidy : 2 alleles in Duffy negatives (N=13) 8 alleles in Duffy positives (N=16) (Chi2, p=0.007): 007) Allele IX much higher frequency in Duffy-negatives (P<10-6)

15 PvDBPallele IX binds Duffy-negative RBC PvDBP allele IX: Baculovirus expression : N glycosylation sites mutated C-term His tag (5x10 7 RBC/assay) Neg & Pos Neg & Pos Neg & Pos Neg & Pos Neg & Pos Neg & Pos PvDBP (µg) with reduced efficacy of binding compared to Duffy-pos RBC

16 Hypothesis reservoir of Duffy positive infected carriers Duffy positive RBC Invasion of through DARC pathway Duffy negative RBC? Alternative invasion pathway (less efficient) but possibly involving mutant PvDBP.

17 Duffy binding site falciparum EBA sialic acid binding site Surface exposed contact residues required for recognition of DARC on human erythrocytes are in all P. vivax samples. Dual functionality?
