Comparative study of <i>Plasmodium falciparum msp-1</i> and <i>msp-2</i> Genetic Diversity in Isolates from Rural and Urban Areas in the South of Brazzaville, Republic of Congo

Polymorphisms in the genes encoding the merozoite surface proteins msp-1 and msp-2 are widely used markers for characterizing the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum. This study aimed to compare the genetic diversity of circulating parasite strains in rural and urban settings in the Republic...
