Abstract excerpt
Monoclonal antibodies against variant epitopes of a highly polymorphic protein (PV200) in schizonts of Plasmodium vivax have been used to analyze the variety of genetically distinct populations of parasites present in the peripheral blood of individual P. vivax infections in Sri Lanka. In 9 out o...
