Targeted Amplicon deep sequencing of ama1 and mdr1 to track within-host P. falciparum diversity in Kilifi, KENYA

Abstract

These data were generated from targeted amplicon sequencing of Plasmodium falciparum ama1 and mdr1 genes in samples collected from Kilifi, at the coast of Kenya. Two objectives were explored: [1] To determine temporal changes in the genetic diversity of malaria parasites in asymptomatic and febrile infections. [2] To track within-host parasite diversity, throughout treatment in a clinical drug trial
