Assessment of different genotyping markers and algorithms for distinguishing Plasmodium falciparum recrudescence from reinfection in Uganda
Mwesigwa A, Golumbeanu M, Jones S, Cantoreggi S, Musinguzi B, Nankabirwa J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2025 Feb; 15(1):4375. PMID: 39910229
Antimalarial therapeutic efficacy studies are vital for monitoring drug efficacy in malaria-endemic regions. The WHO recommends genotyping polymorphic markers including msp-1, msp-2, and glurp for distinguishing recrudescences from reinfections. Recently,...
