Plasmodium falciparum population structure and genetic diversity of cell traversal protein for ookinetes and sporozoites (CelTOS) during malaria resurgences in Dielmo, Senegal.

Abstract excerpt

The ability to accurately measure the intensity of malaria transmission in areas with low transmission is extremely important to guide elimination efforts. Plasmodium falciparum Cell-traversal protein for ookinetes and sporozoites (PfCelTOS) is an important conserved sporozoite antigen reported as one of the promising malaria vaccine candidates, and could be used to estimate malaria transmission intensity.
