Recently, a novel panel of P. vivax proteins were identified and validated as serological markers for detecting recent exposure to P. vivax within the last 9 months. In order to improve the sensitivity and specificity of these markers, immunoglobulin M (IgM) in addition to immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody responses were compared with a down-selected panel of 20 P. vivax proteins. IgM was tested using archival plasma samples from observational cohort studies conducted in malaria-endemic regions of Thailand and Brazil. IgM responses to these proteins generally had poorer classification performance than IgG.Mahidol UniversityMedicineIgG Antibody Responses Are Preferential Compared with IgM for Use as Serological Markers for Detecting Recent Exposure to Plasmodium vivax InfectionArticleSCOPUS10.1093/ofid/ofab228
