Abstract excerpt
Anti-malaria interventions typically reduce the intensity of Plasmodium transmission, but the effects of reduced transmission on P. falciparum population biology remain unclear. Highly polymorphic microsatellite markers in P. falciparum were used to investigate genetic diversity, polyclonality and genetic structure among populations in areas of varying malaria transmission intensity across Kenya. We also assessed...
