Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity displayed by Plasmodiumfalciparum field isolates, the occurrence of variant forms of the parasite at different frequencies in different geographic areas, and the complexity of the infections represent major obstacles for the development of effective malaria control measures. However, since most of the existing studies have been performed in regions where P. falciparum transmission is high,...
