Determinants of Plasmodium falciparum multiplicity of infection and genetic diversity in Burkina Faso.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Schistosoma japonicum is one of the major causative agents of schistosomiasis. The pairing of males and females leads to female sexual maturation and maintains this mature state. However, the mechanisms by which pairing facilitates sexual maturation are yet to be investigated. METHODS:Parasites isolated fro...
