Genetic variation of the Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein in parasite isolates from Homabay County in Kenya
The Plasmodium falciparum Circumsporozoite Protein (PfCSP) has been used in developing the RTS,S, and R21 malaria vaccines. However, genetic polymorphisms within Pfcsp compromise the effectiveness of the vaccine. Thus, it is essential to continuously assess the genetic diversity of Pfcsp, especially...
