Abstract excerpt
Determination of the number of parasite clones present in a malaria infection is usually based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification of Plasmodium polymorphic genomic sequences from peripheral blood. This method however does not provide information on the developmental stages of the parasites detected, or on the potential trasmissibility of the detected genotypes to the Anopheles vector. Reverse...
