Studying 1474 high‐quality genomes of P. vivax , the main cause of malaria outside Africa, reveals high global genetic diversity across 31 countries. Latin American P. vivax isolates form a unique population with sub‐populations and genetic adaptations linked to regional adaptation of the parasites to their hosts and different environmental challenges. Understanding these population‐level adaptations is crucial for effective control efforts, providing insights into potential mechanisms behind drug resistance, immune evasion, and transmission dynamics in the fight against parasitic tropical diseases.
