Abstract excerpt
In this study we intended to examine the extent of genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum parasites causing severe malaria (SM). For this purpose, 100 parasite isolates were obtained from patients with SM and uncomplicated malaria, from an area of low and unstable malaria transmission in Sudan. The diversity of infection (DOI) was estimated by relating the number of the different parasite genotypes that were...
