Background In this first study conducted after the introduction of artemisinin-combination
therapy (ACT), the major objective was to evaluate Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity …

Background The genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum allows the molecular
discrimination of otherwise microscopically identical parasites and the identification of …

Background: Plasmodium falciparum's biodiversity still seems to be argumentative, and
hinders malaria control, the current study aimed to characterize P. falciparum isolates for …

As in many sub-Saharan African countries, the burden of malaria has been reduced in the
Republic of Congo as a result of massive deployment of insecticide treated nets and …

Diversity in parasite virulence is one of the factors that contribute to the clinical outcome of
malaria infections. The association between the severity of Plasmodium falciparum malaria …

Symptomatic and asymptomatic malaria patients are considered as the reservoirs of human
Plasmodium. In the present study, we have evaluated the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite …

Objective To assess the prevalence and multiplicity of Plasmodium falciparum infections in
Ghanaian infants. Method In an epidemiological study in an area holoendemic for malaria in …

Abstract Background Genetic diversity in Plasmodium falciparum poses a major threat to
malaria control and elimination interventions. Characterization of the genetic diversity of P …

The influence of the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum infection on the clinical
presentation of human malaria was investigated in rural Bolifamba, Cameroon. Parasite …

Background: In areas with intense malaria transmission, individuals are often
simultaneously infected with multiple parasite strains. This study assessed the effect of …
