Molecular identification of Plasmodium species in symptomatic children of Democratic Republic of Congo

Molecular identification of Plasmodium species in symptomatic children of Democratic Republic of Congo

Abstract Background Worldwide, the highest malaria mortality is due to Plasmodium falciparum infection. However, other species of Plasmodium (Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi) can also cause malaria. Therefore, accurate identification of malaria specie...
