Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is unknown whether the presence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites in umbilical cord blood denotes infection acquired antenatally or contamination with infected maternal blood at delivery. METHODS: Parasites were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTQ-PCR) and were genotyped in paired maternal- and cord-blood samples obtained from 632 pregnant Kenyan women and...
