Multi-locus genotyping reveals established endemicity of a geographically distinct <i>Plasmodium vivax</i> population in Mauritania, West Africa

2020-09-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Plasmodium vivax has been recently discovered as a significant cause of malaria in Mauritania, although very rare elsewhere in West Africa. It has not been known if this is a recently introduced or locally remnant parasite population, nor whether the genetic structure reflects epidemic or endemic transmission. <h4>Methodology / Principal Findings</h4> To investigate the P. vivax population...
