Genetic profiling of the Plasmodium falciparum population using antigenic molecular markers.
ScientificWorldJournal
November 2015
Article Synopsis
- About 50% of malaria infections in India are caused by Plasmodium falciparum, but there's limited knowledge about the genetic diversity of these parasites.
- The study uses molecular techniques to analyze genes like msp1, msp2, and glurp to understand how these parasites survive in different regions of India.
- The research also examines Pfcrt mutations to assess how drug resistance is developing among these malaria parasite populations.
