Abstract
Plasmodium vivax infections along the Myanmar-China border exhibited high genetic diversity but low polyclonality. Frequent parasite gene flow via human movement contributes to local and cross-border spread of malaria. It is thus important to reinforce and improve existing control efforts along border areas.
