Within‐household clustering of genetically related Plasmodium falciparum infections in a moderate transmission area of Uganda

Within‐household clustering of genetically related Plasmodium falciparum infections in a moderate transmission area of Uganda

Abstract Background Evaluation of genetic relatedness of malaria parasites is a useful tool for understanding transmission patterns, but patterns are not easily detectable in areas with moderate to high malaria transmission. To evaluate the feasibility of detecting genetic relatedness in a moderate...
