Sympatric Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Venezuela have structured var gene repertoires.

Malaria journal - 11 Apr 2003

Tami Adriana, Ord Rosalynn, Targett Geoffrey A T, Sutherland Colin J

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum expresses adhesins belonging to the erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family on the surface of the infected host erythrocyte. These antigens elicit a strain-specific antibody response that is associated with protection from disease. During clonal expansion of blood-stage parasites, the surface phenotype of the infected erythrocyte changes because...
