Abstract excerpt
The genomic polymorphism of Plasmodium falciparum was investigated in a series of samples collected in Senegal during one transmission season. Restriction site polymorphism was studied by Southern blot analysis using six different probes. The patterns of the ribosomal RNA genes and of the gene coding for antigen 2L indicated a limited genomic polymorphism. Sequences hybridizing to the repeats of the Palo...
