PCR characterization of isolates from various endemic areas: Diversity and turn over of Plasmodium falciparum populations are correlated with transmission

PCR was employed in epidemiological studies. Using primers derived from molecules which are considered as valuable vaccine candidates, we investigated the genetic diversity of parasites harbored by acute or chronic P. falciparum carriers in various areas of the world which differed by the rate of ma...

Summary:PCR was employed in epidemiological studies. Using primers derived from molecules which are considered as valuable vaccine candidates, we investigated the genetic diversity of parasites harbored by acute or chronic P. falciparum carriers in various areas of the world which differed by the rate of malaria transmission by mosquitoes, and also in a longitudinal manner in some patients.
