world. Its pathogenesis is still not clearly understood, although there are indications that …

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum)
field isolates in children from Lafia, North-central Nigeria, using the highly polymorphic P …

Genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum may pose challenges in malaria treatment and
prevention through chemotherapy and vaccination. We assessed Plasmodium falciparum …

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 …

Introduction: molecular characterization of malaria parasites from different localities is
important to improve understanding of acquisition of natural immunity to Plasmodium …

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 …

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 …

Background Plasmodium falciparum parasites are known to exhibit extensive genetic
diversity in areas of high transmission intensity and infected individuals in such communities …

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 …

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 …
