Preferential transmission of minority and drug-resistant clones in polyclonal infections in Mali

Preferential transmission of minority and drug-resistant clones in polyclonal infections in Mali

Abstract Background In polyclonal human malaria infections, the roles of individual clones in human-to-mosquito transmission and their relative transmissibility remain poorly understood. In addition, mutations conferring drug resistance can result in a transmission advantage or disadvantage. Methods...
