Background Individuals living in areas of high malaria transmission often have different
Plasmodium falciparum clones detected in the peripheral blood over time. The aim of this …

Plasmodium falciparum is the major cause of malaria morbidity and mortality in the world.
Biologic and antigenic diversity is a characteristic of this parasite and infections can consist …

Infections caused by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum often comprise multiple
genetically distinct clones. Individuals in endemic areas can have different clones detected …

Abstract Background Genetic diversity in Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) parasites is
a major hurdle to the control of malaria. This study monitored changes in the genetic …

In areas where malaria is endemic, infected individuals generally harbor a mixture of
genetically distinct Plasmodium falciparum parasite populations. For the first time, we …

Extensive polymorphism in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is one of the major
obstacles to controlling the disease. With the aim of analysing the dynamics of P. falciparum …

Background Plasmodium falciparum parasites are known to exhibit extensive genetic
diversity in areas of high transmission intensity and infected individuals in such communities …

The diversity in the Plasmodium falciparum genome can be used to explore parasite
population dynamics, with practical applications to malaria control. The ability to identify the …

Background High levels of genetic diversity are common characteristics of Plasmodium
falciparum parasite populations in high malaria transmission regions. There has been a …

Background In malaria endemic populations, complex patterns of Plasmodium vivax and
Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage infection dynamics may be observed. Genotyping …
