Estimating the Numbers of Malaria Infections in Blood Samples Using High-Resolution Genotyping Data

People living in endemic areas often habour several malaria infections at once. High-resolution genotyping can distinguish between infections by detecting the presence of different alleles at a polymorphic locus. However the number of infections may not be accurately counted since parasites from mul...
