Field populations of Plasmodium falciparum can be effectively genotyped by PCR‐
amplification of selected fragments of the Merozoite Surface Proteins 1 and 2 (MSP1 and …

Background Genotyping malaria parasites to assess their diversity in different geographic
settings have become necessary for the selection of antigenic epitopes for vaccine …

The genetic diversity of P. falciparum and multiplicity of infection has been studied in a
village in Northern Nigeria at the end of the rainy season, when transmission is high. We …

Background The diversity of genotyping markers of Plasmodium falciparum depends on
transmission intensity. It has been reported that the diversity of the merozoite surface protein …

We investigated Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity in isolates collected from school-
going residents aged from 5 to 15 years in the village of Pouma (Cameroon, Central Africa) …

The diversity of Plasmodium falciparum clones and their role in progression from
asymptomatic to symptomatic condition in children have been investigated. Attempts to …

The merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) of Plasmodium falciparum is extremely
polymorphic: 82 different msp2 alleles were found in 4 studies of molecular epidemiology …

We have compared allelic polymorphism of two merozoite surface protein genes, MSP-1
and MSP-2, of Plasmodium falciparum and the parasite load in infected individuals in two …

Diversity and complexity of infections with Plasmodium falciparum were described from
cross-sectional surveys in November–December 1996 in 6 villages in the Usambara …

Background: Characterization of Plasmodium falciparum diversity is commonly achieved by
amplification of the polymorphic regions of the merozoite surface proteins 1 (MSP1) and 2 …
