Parameters describing the infection dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum are important
determinants of the potential impact of interventions and are potential outcome …

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

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 …

Genotyping Plasmodium falciparum parasites in longitudinal studies provides a robust
approach to estimating force of infection (FOI) in the presence of superinfections. The …

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 …

Background Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping provides the means to
develop a practical, rapid, inexpensive assay that will uniquely identify any Plasmodium …

Many studies in molecular epidemiology of malaria require the researcher to enumerate or
to characterize multiple Plasmodium falciparum infections found concurrently in one carrier …

Objective To analyse the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) using
msp-1 and msp-2 as antigenic markers. Methods Parasite DNA was extracted from 100 …

Background: Plasmodium falciparum the main causative agent of malaria is an important
public health vector. With the use of PCR, its genetic diversity has been extensively studied …

Parasite genotyping by the polymerase chain reaction was used to distinguish recrudescent
from newly acquired Plasmodium falciparum infections in a Karen population resident on the …
