Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic diversity studies provide evidence of Plasmodium falciparum differentiation that could affect fitness and adaptation to drugs and target antigens for vaccine development. This study describes the genetic structure of P. falciparum populations in urban and rural sites from southwestern Nigeria. METHODOLOGY: Ten neutral microsatellite loci were genotyped in 196 P. falciparum infections from...
