Abstract excerpt
DNA amplified from individual Plasmodium vivax oocysts, produced by feeding mosquitoes directly on naturally infected humans in Thailand, was used to study cross-mating of 2 polymorphs of the circumsporozoite (CS) gene, VK 210 and VK 247. Alleles were detected in matched blood parasites, sporozoi...
