Species and genotype diversity of Plasmodium in malaria patients from Gabon analysed by next generation sequencing

Species and genotype diversity of Plasmodium in malaria patients from Gabon analysed by next generation sequencing

Abstract Background Six Plasmodium species are known to naturally infect humans. Mixed species infections occur regularly but morphological discrimination by microscopy is difficult and multiplicity of infection (MOI) can only be evaluated by molecular methods. This study investigated the complexity...
