Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background </bold>Extensive genetic diversity in the<bold> </bold><italic>Plasmodium falciparum</italic> circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) is a major contributing factor to the moderate efficacy of the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine. The transmission intensity and rates of recombination within and between populations influence the extent of its genetic diversity. Understanding the extent and d...
