Background Assessment of the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum parasites from
various malaria transmission settings could help to define tailored local strategies for …

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

Background Malaria infection can present with a wide variety of symptoms, ranging from
mild to severe. Plasmodium falciparum isolates in uncomplicated and severe malaria …

Background The genetic diversity of malaria parasites reflects the complexity and size of the
