The origin of antigenic diversity in Plasmodium falciparum.

Parasitology today (Personal ed.) - 1 Sept 2000

Rich S M, Ferreira M U, Ayala F J

Abstract excerpt

Most studies of genetic variability of Plasmodium falciparum have focused on protein antigens and the genes that encode them. The consensus is that populations exhibit high levels of genetic polymorphism, most notably the genes encoding surface proteins of the merozoite (Msp1, Msp2) and the sporozoite (Csp). The age and derivation of this variation is a subject that warrants further careful consideration, as...
