field isolates in children from Lafia, North-central Nigeria, using the highly polymorphic P …

The genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum (P falciparum) infections in humans is
implicated in the pathogenesis of malaria. This study provides the first estimate of the …

Abstract North Central Nigeria is one region in Nigeria with a significant incidence of malaria
caused majorly by Plasmodium falciparum. This study utilizes the msp1 and msp2 genes of …

Background/Purpose Malaria remains one of the most devastating parasitic diseases in the

As the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum infections in humans is implicated in the
pathogenesis of malaria, the association between P. falciparum diversity at the merozoite …

Genetic characteristics of Plasmodium falciparum may play a role in the clinical severity of
malaria infection. We have studied the association between diversity at the merozoite …

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 …

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 …

In this cross-sectional study, we investigated host genetic factors and ethnic variation in
circulating Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 (msp-2) clones among …

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) …
