Our findings provide insights about genetic variations of G6PD and CYP2D6 in 88 vivax malaria patients from Yala, which may influence the safety and effectiveness of radical treatment. Optimization of 8-aminoquinoline administration may be required for safe and effective treatment in the studied population, which could be a significant challenge in achieving the goal of eliminating malaria.
