Multiplicity of infection (MOI), also termed complexity of infection (COI), is defined as the
number of genetically distinct parasite strains co-infecting a single host, which is an …

In the progression of the life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum, a small proportion of asexual
parasites differentiate into male or female sexual forms called gametocytes. Just like their …
