Multiple, selectively neutral genetic markers are the most appropriate tools for analysis of parasite population structure and epidemiology, but yet existing methods for characterization of malaria field samples utilize a limited number of antigen encoding genes, which appear to be under strong selection. We describe protocols for characterization of 12 microsatellite markers from finger-prick blood samples...
