Abstract excerpt
The inability to distinguish recrudescent Plasmodium falciparum infections (treatment failures) from reinfections (new infections) is an important impediment to the evaluation of antimalarial treatment regimens. Ten paired primary and recrudescent isolates collected near the Thai-Cambodian border were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping of...
