Malaria is a serious parasitic disease in the develo** world, causing high morbidity and
mortality. The pathogenesis of malaria is complex, and the clinical presentation of disease …

Multiplicity of infection (MOI), also termed complexity of infection (COI), is defined as the
number of genetically distinct parasite strains co-infecting a single host, which is an …

Abstract Background In Burkina Faso, malaria remains the overall leading cause of
morbidity and mortality accounting for 35.12% of consultations, 40.83% of hospitalizations …

Asymptomatic malaria parasite carriers do not seek anti-malarial treatment and may
constitute a silent infectious reservoir. In order to assess the level of asymptomatic and …

There is a large genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum strains that infect people
causing diverse malaria symptoms. This study was carried out to explore the effect of mixed …

Malaria is still a significant public health burden in the tropics. Infection with malaria causing
parasites results in a wide range of clinical disease presentations, from severe to …

Background Malaria parasite population genetic structure varies among areas of differing
endemicity, but this has not been systematically studied across Plasmodium falciparum …

Diversity in parasite virulence is one of the factors that contribute to the clinical outcome of
malaria infections. The association between the severity of Plasmodium falciparum malaria …

Background Outside of Africa, P. falciparum and P. vivax usually coexist. In such co-endemic
regions, successful malaria control programs have a greater impact on reducing falciparum …

Background Multiplicity of infection (MOI) refers to the average number of distinct parasite
genotypes concurrently infecting a patient. Although several studies have reported on MOI …
