Abstract excerpt
The genomic polymorphism of Plasmodium falciparum was investigated in a series of samples collected in Senegal during one transmission season. PCR analysis was performed on several genes coding for blood-stage antigens: the gene for the major merozoite surface antigen P190, the gene for the second merozoite surface antigen MSA2 and the gene coding for antigen 96tR/GBP130. In each case, several distinct forms of...
