Genetic polymorphisms in the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium malariae show a geographical bias
Abstract Background Plasmodium malariae is characterized by its long asymptomatic persistence in the human host. The epidemiology of P. malariae is incompletely understood and is hampered by the limited knowledge of genetic polymorphisms. Previous reports from Africa have shown heterogeneity within...
