Genetic diversity and population structure of Plasmodium falciparum in Nigeria: insights from microsatellite loci analysis

Abstract Background Malaria remains a public health burden especially in Nigeria. To develop new malaria control and elimination strategies or refine existing ones, understanding parasite population diversity and transmission patterns is crucial. Methods In this study, characterization of the parasi...
