Congenicity and genetic polymorphism in cloned lines derived from a single isolate of a rodent malaria parasite.

Abstract excerpt

Many of the most commonly studied lines of the rodent malaria parasite Plasmodium yoelii yoelii originated from a single parasite isolate designated 17X. Amongst these lines, however, are parasites that exhibit variation in genotype and phenotype (e.g. growth rate). We describe here the results of a comparative genetic analysis between cloned lines of 17X that differ in growth rate, using nucleotide sequences of...
