Abstract:Background
The genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum provides the parasite with many effective immune evasion and drug resistance mechanisms. This phenomenon is a major problem in eradicating malaria globally. This study aimed to assess merozoite surface protein 2 polymorphisms in P. falciparum isolates from Northwest Ethiopia.
Method
A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess merozoite surface protein 2 polymorphisms in P. falciparum isolates from selected malarious areas in Northwest Ethiopia fr… Show more
