Furthermore, a more robust definition of “new infection” should be discussed among experts, which could be primarily, or exclusively, based on markers msp1 and msp2. In practice, genotyping of recurrent parasitemias should therefore begin with typing both markers msp1 and msp2. If these two markers agree, glurp genotyping would no longer be necessary. The gene discussed is ATAD1; the disease is parasitic infectious disease.
