Abstract excerpt
The principal goals of the present study were to determine the genetic diversity of the merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) and protein-2 (MSP-2) genes and the complexity of infections in P. falciparum isolates collected from Beninese patients during high and low transmission season at Cotonou, in South Benin. Sixty and twenty-four patients were sampled during dry and wet season respectively. Parasite DNA was...
