[Genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum and its implications in the epidemiology of malaria].

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity provides Plasmodium falciparum with the potential capacity of avoiding the immune response, and possibly supporting the selection of drug or vaccine resistant parasites. These genetic characters play key roles in the selection of appropriate malaria control measures. Diverse clones of Plasmodium falciparum, often denoted as strains, has been documented, and the degree of genetic diversity...
