Genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax populations from the China–Myanmar border identified by genotyping merozoite surface protein markers

Genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax populations from the China–Myanmar border identified by genotyping merozoite surface protein markers

Abstract Background Parasite diversity and population structure influence malaria control measures. Malaria transmission at international borders affects indigenous residents and migrants, defying management efforts and resulting in malaria re-introduction. Here we aimed to determine the extent and...
