Analysis of Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein-1 gene sequences from resurgent Korean isolates.
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
The merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) of Plasmodium vivax exhibits great antigenic diversity among different isolates of this parasite. This antigen is a useful genetic marker for studying the polymorphism of natural P. vivax parasite populations. One or more of these populations has been responsible for resurgent malaria now occurring in Korea. This paper reports the analysis of a highly polymorphic region...
