Multiplicity of infection (MOI), also termed complexity of infection (COI), is defined as the
number of genetically distinct parasite strains co-infecting a single host, which is an …

Multiplicity of infection (MOI) and genetic diversity of P. falciparum infections are important
surrogate indicators for assessing malaria transmission intensity in different regions of …

Background: Diversity in Plasmodium falciparum poses a major threat to malaria control and
elimination interventions. This study utilized 12 polymorphic microsatellite (MS) markers and …

Background Multiplicity of infection (MOI) refers to the average number of distinct parasite
genotypes concurrently infecting a patient. Although several studies have reported on MOI …

Background Parasite genetic diversity and multiplicity of infection (MOI) affect clinical
outcomes, response to drug treatment and naturally-acquired or vaccine-induced immunity …

Introduction. The characterization of genetic profile of Plasmodium isolates from different
areas could help in better strategies for malaria elimination. This study aimed to compare P …

Background A commonly used measure of malaria transmission intensity is the
entomological inoculation rate (EIR), defined as the product of the human biting rate (HBR) …

Background Current methods to classify local and imported malaria infections depend
primarily on patient travel history, which can have limited accuracy. Genotyping has been …

Background In malaria endemic regions, Plasmodium falciparum infection is characterized
by extensive genetic diversity. Describing this diversity provides important information about …

Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium malariae infections are prevalent in malaria-
endemic countries. However, very little is known about their interactions especially the effect …
