Abstract:Background Plasmodium falciparum circumsporozoite protein (PfCSP) is a potential malaria vaccine candidate, but various genetic polymorphisms of PfCSP among global P. falciparum population become the major barrier to the effectiveness of vaccines. This study aimed to investigate the genetic polymorphisms and natural selection of PfCSP in Bioko and the comparison among global P. falciparum population.Methods From January 2011 to December 2018, 148 blood samples were collected from P. falciparum infected Bioko p… Show more
