Genetic Diversity of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> in Korhogo Health District, Northern Cote d'Ivoire.

ABSTRACT: Understanding Plasmodium falciparum population genetic diversity is crucial to assess the impact of malaria control interventions. This study investigated P. falciparum genetic diversity using merozoite surface protein 1 (msp1), msp2 and glutamate-rich protein (glurp) in Korhogo district, Northern Côte d'Ivoire. DNA was extracted from dried blood spots (DBSs) collected in the health district of Korhogo between 2019 and 2020. The msp1, msp2, and glurp genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and amplicon sizes were determined by capillary electrophoresis. Out of 179 samples randomly selected and genotyped, 82% were successfully amplified for msp1, 85% for msp2, and 75% for glurp. For msp1, th
