Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genetic diversity, extent and distribution of variant forms of Plasmodium vivax parasites is crucial in the development of effective control measures and in Orissa, a hyperendemic state in the eastern part of India, the polymorphic nature of P. vivax isolates is largely lacking. The result of the study analyzing two highly polymorphic single copy genes for P. vivax circumsporozoite protein...
