Assembled genome of an Ethiopian <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> isolate generated using GridION long-read technology
<i>Plasmodium vivax</i> causes ~20% of malaria cases in Ethiopia. Here, we report a long-read genome assembly generated from an individual collected in 2022. <i>P. vivax</i> is genetically diverse across endemic regions; thus, the genome assembly of an African isolate is an important resource for the malaria research community.
