Abstract excerpt
Studying the population genetics of Plasmodium falciparum is necessary for understanding the spread of drug resistance. However, these studies are hampered by the inability to determine haplotypes from patient samples that contain multiple parasite populations. Therefore, we have developed a method for separating for genetic analysis the individual strains in a mixed infection. We amplified a 6 kb region of...
