RH: a genetic metric for measuring intrahostPlasmodium falciparumrelatedness and distinguishing cotransmission from superinfection
1 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Multiple-strain (polygenomic) infections are a ubiquitous feature of Plasmodium falciparum parasite population genetics. Under simple assumptions of superinfection, polygenomic infections are hypothesized to be the result of multiple infectious bites. As a result, polygenomic infections have been used as evidence of repeat exposure and used to derive genetic metrics associated with high transmission...
