Fig. 2From: Genetic diversity and genetic relatedness in Plasmodium falciparum parasite population in individuals with uncomplicated malaria based on microsatellite typing in Eastern and Western regions of Uganda, 2019–2020Genetic relatedness of P. falciparum populations. a and b Legend: Genetic relatedness of P. falciparum populations from Uganda differing in pfhrp2/3 genetic gene status (a) and comparison of parasite populations from Uganda and Eritrea (b). The relatedness among parasites was constructed using seven neutral microsatellite markers/loci indicated in Additional file 1: Table S1. Plots were produced using Phyloviz software at cutoff value of 3 minimum differences for 4 loci). Numbered circles indicate specific haplotypes. Circle sizes are proportional to the number of samples with a particular haplotype. The number of samples are indicated inside each circle. Pfhrp2/pfhrp3 status is indicated as: Positive/Positive (wild type), Negative/Negative (dual pfhrp2/3 deletion), Positive/Negative (pfhrp3 deletion) and Negative/Positive (Pfhrp2 deletion)Back to article page
