Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites in three regions of Myanmar: two southeastern areas (Shwekyin and Myawaddy) and one western area (Kyauktaw).
- A total of 267 blood samples from patients with acute infections were analyzed, with 184 samples successfully genotyped at three specific loci (Msp1, Msp2, and Glurp), showing significant differences in allelic distributions across the areas.
- The findings indicated a high level of genetic diversity and a prevalence of mixed infections, with most samples exhibiting multiclonal infections and different alleles being dominant in each area, suggesting varying malaria dynamics in the regions studied.
