Hard-to-reach communities represent the last challenge for malaria elimination in Peru, but information about transmission is scarce. In this study, we investigated the Plasmodium vivax (Pv) and P. falciparum (Pf) populations in Nueva Jerusalén (NJ), an indigenous community in the Peruvian Amazon, regarding transmission dynamics, resistance markers, and Pf hrp2/3 deletions. We analyzed NJ samples (2019 – 2020, Pv = 68, Pf = 58) using the AmpliSeq assays. Additionally, we compared NJ isolates to other remotes areas, and the assay performance to other methods such as microsatellites and PCR. NJ’s Pv population had modest genetic diversity (He = 0.27) with no differences during the study time, while Pf population displayed low diversity (He = 0.08) and formed temporal clusters, one linked to an outbreak in February 2020. Additionally, NJ's Pv parasites were little and highly differentiated from Mazan and Yavari isolates, respectively (Fst = 0.07 – 0.52). In contrast, Pf in NJ showed modest differentiation and some connectivity with Andoas, Santa Emilia and Mazan parasites (Fst = 0.11 – 0.58). Pf parasites carried resistance mutations to chloroquine (57%) and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (35 – 67%), but none to artemisinin. Moreover, pfhrp2/3 genes were present (50 – 68%) in most places. On the other hand, the AmpliSeq assay had better genetic resolution than microsatellites for Pf and similar for Pv but was not concordant with PCR for pfhrp2/3 genotyping. Our study shows a heterogeneous and specific transmission dynamics of malaria in NJ and other remote areas, leading to proposing specific strategies. The AmpliSeq assays represent a valid tool for molecular surveillance and could contribute to malaria elimination in Peru.
