Figure 1

Genotyping study of Plasmodium falciparum isolated from 2 patients involved in nosocomial transmission of P. falciparum malaria, Spain, 2024. The genes analyzed were PfMSP-1 and PfMSP-2. Results for genotypes FC27 (A) and IC (B) for the MSP-2 families are shown. The findings indicate that the fragments detected in the index case are also present in the source case. MSP, merozoite surface protein; neg, negative.
