Background  The Republic of Korea (South Korea) is one of the countries where vivax malaria had been successfully eradicated by the late 1970s. However, re-emergence of vivax malaria in South Korea was reported in 1993. Several epidemiological studies and some genetic studies using antigenic molecules of  Plasmodium vivax  in the country have been reported, but the evolutionary history of  P. vivax  has not been fully understood. In this study, the origin of the South Korean  P. vivax  population was estimated by molecular phylogeographic analysis.    Methods  A haplotype network analysis based on  P. vivax  mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences was conducted on 11  P. vivax  isolates from South Korea and another 282  P. vivax  isolates collected worldwide.    Results  The network analysis of  P. vivax  mtDNA sequences showed that the coexistence of two different groups (A and B) in South Korea. Groups A and B were identical or close to two different populations in southern China.    Conclusions  Although the direct introduction of the two  P. vivax  populations in South Korea were thought to have been from North Korea, the results of this analysis suggest the genealogical origin to be the two different populations in southern China.
