Genotyping of allelic variants of Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface proteins 1 and 2 (msp-1 and msp-2), and the glutamate-rich protein is the gold standard for distinguishing reinfections from recrudescences in antimalarial drug trials. We compared performance of the recently developed 24-single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Barcoding Assay against msp-1 and msp-2 genotyping in a cluster-randomized...
