Epidemiology, Prevalence And Diagnosis Of Falciparum Malaria With The Molecular Surveillance For Antimalarial Drug Resistant Gene Markers In Akure, Nigeria

Malaria is a devastating parasitic disease of major public health problem worldwide, particularly in sub-Saharan African countries where Nigeria accounts for the highest burden of malaria disease. Currently, information on the epidemiology, diagnosis and prevalence of antimalarial drug resistant gen...

Currently, information on the epidemiology, diagnosis and prevalence of antimalarial drug resistant gene markers upon which malaria management and control could be based is scarce, particularly in Akure, Nigeria.
