Plasmodium falciparum Genetic Diversity and Resistance Genotype Profile in Infected Placental Samples Collected After Delivery in Ouagadougou

The results showed that <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> has a high genetic diversity of <i>msp1</i> and <i>msp2</i>. This suggests that <i>dhfr</i> and <i>dhps</i> mutant genotypes are potential early warning factors in the increase in the sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance.
