Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Plasmodium malariae is the most common non-falciparum species in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this, data on its genetic diversity is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to establish a P. malariae genotyping approach based on size polymorphic regions that can be easily applied in molecular epidemiological studies. Methods: Four potential genotyping markers, Pm02, Pm09, P. malariae thrombospondin-related...
