Abstract excerpt
Current understanding of genetic polymorphisms and natural selection in Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite (PfCSP), the leading malaria vaccine, is crucial for the development of next-generation vaccines, and such data is lacking in Africa. Blood samples were collected among Plasmodium-infected individuals living in four Cameroonian areas (Douala, Maroua, Mayo-Oulo, Pette). DNA samples were amplified using...
