Abstract excerpt
Two millilitres of peripheral blood was collected from 323 patients of different age groups and rapid diagnosis (RDT test) was performed. Parasite genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and MSP-2 gene-based diversity and polymorphism was determined followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using Taq 1 and Vsp 1 digestion of each polymerase chain reaction product to analyse MSP-2 genotypes....
