Critical evaluation of molecular monitoring in malaria drug efficacy trials and pitfalls of length-polymorphic markers (Publications)
Estimation of drug efficacy in antimalarial drug trials requires parasite genotyping to distinguish new infections from treatment failures. When using length-polymorphic molecular markers, preferential
