Abstract excerpt
Introduction: the diversity of Plasmodium falciparum genotypes affects the dynamics of malaria transmission and is thought to be one of the factors hampering malaria control efforts. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity and chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance markers in malaria endemic areas of Burkina Faso. Methods: in a cross-sectional...
