Population structure and transmission dynamics of Plasmodium vivax in the Republic of Korea based on microsatellite DNA analysis.
BACKGROUND: In order to control malaria, it is important to understand the genetic structure of the parasites in each endemic area. Plasmodium vivax is widely distributed in the tropical to temperate regions of Asia and South America, but effective strategies for its elimination have yet to be desig...
