Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum parasites, which could harbour anti-malaria drug resistance genes, are commonly detected in blood donors in malaria-endemic areas. Notwithstanding, anti-malaria drug resistant biomarkers have not been characterized in blood donors with asymptomatic P. falciparum infection. METHODS: A total of 771 blood donors were selected from five districts in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana....
