A genotyping assay to determine geographic origin and transmission potential of Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases

Molina-Cruz et al. analyzed 4,971 sequences of the Plasmodium falciparum Pfs47 gene and identified a combination of two SNP haplotypes highly correlated with geographic origin and transmission potential by mosquito vectors. A simple High-Resolution Melting RT-PCR assay was developed to genotype thes...

Sumario:Molina-Cruz et al. analyzed 4,971 sequences of the Plasmodium falciparum Pfs47 gene and identified a combination of two SNP haplotypes highly correlated with geographic origin and transmission potential by mosquito vectors. A simple High-Resolution Melting RT-PCR assay was developed to genotype these SNPs and establish the likely continent of origin and transmission risk of P. falciparum isolates.
