Preferential transmission of minority and drug-resistant clones in polyclonal infections in Mali
Overall, these findings indicate that parasite dynamics and clonal transmissibility are highly complex, even after ACT. This complexity may have important epidemiological implications, as it suggests the transmission of minority clones and highlights the impact of drug resistance markers on transmissibility.
