Introduction: The genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum poses a threat to the
development and implementation of malaria control strategies. Thus, there is a need for …

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 …

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 …

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 of study: Extensive genetic diversity and distribution of allelic frequencies in P.
falciparum isolates is an indication for high malaria transmission. Therefore, Malaria control …

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 …

Field populations of Plasmodium falciparum can be effectively genotyped by PCR‐
amplification of selected fragments of the Merozoite Surface Proteins 1 and 2 (MSP1 and …

Background Nigeria is a major contributor to the global malaria burden. The genetic diversity
of malaria parasite populations as well as antibody responses of individuals in affected …

Abstract Background In Burkina Faso, malaria remains the overall leading cause of
morbidity and mortality accounting for 35.12% of consultations, 40.83% of hospitalizations …

Background The complexity of infection in malaria-endemic areas is exacerbated by the
presence of genetically diverse Plasmodium falciparum strains. There is a risk that more …
