Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The knowledge on population structure of the parasite isolates has contributed greatly to understanding the dynamics of the disease transmission for designing and evaluating malaria vaccines as well as for drug applications. msp-1 and msp-3alpha genes have been used as a genetic marker in population studies of Plasmodium vivax isolates. In this study, msp-3alpha was compared and assessed with msp-1...
