Abstract excerpt
The present study was designed to investigate the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum among field isolates from India. A total of 71 clinical isolates were analyzed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the amplification of repeat regions of malaria vaccine candidate antigen genes, i.e., merozoite surface antigen-1 (MSA-1), MSA-2, and circumsporozoite protein (CSP). All three genes showed variation;...
