Merozoite surface protein-3 alpha as a genetic marker for epidemiologic studies in Plasmodium vivax: a cautionary note.

Malaria journal - 21 Aug 2013

Rice Benjamin L, Acosta Mónica M, Pacheco Maria Andreína, Escalante Ananias A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Plasmodium vivax is the most widespread of the human malaria parasites in terms of geography, and is thought to present unique challenges to local efforts aimed at control and elimination. Parasite molecular markers can provide much needed data on P. vivax populations, but few such markers have been critically evaluated. One marker that has seen extensive use is the gene encoding merozoite surface...
