Abstract excerpt
In order to investigate the genetic diversity of iron-containing superoxide dismutase (FeSOD) from Plasmodium falciparum, a potential anti-malarial therapeutic target, we cloned and sequenced Plasmodium FeSOD from 26 blood samples from non-infected patients. Fifteen clones had the same nucleotide sequence as that of the FeSOD gene of the P. falciparum strain HB3 cultivated in vitro. The other 11 clones presented...
