The distinctive features of Indian malaria parasites
Trends Parasitol.
2015 Mar.
Abstract
Malaria and factors driving malaria are heterogeneous in India, unlike in other countries, and the epidemiology of malaria therefore is considered 'highly complex'. This complexity is primarily attributed to several unique features of the malaria parasites, mosquito vectors, malaria-susceptible populations, and ecoclimatic variables in India. Recent research on the genetic epidemiology of Indian malaria parasites has been successful in partly unraveling the mysteries underlying these complexities.
Keywords: India; Plasmodium falciparum; Plasmodium vivax; genetic epidemiology; malaria.
