Development of a capillary electrophoresis-based heteroduplex tracking assay to measure in-host genetic diversity of initial and recurrent Plasmodium vivax infections in Cambodia.

Abstract excerpt

A heteroduplex tracking assay used to genotype Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein 1 was adapted to a capillary electrophoresis format, obviating the need for radiolabeled probes and allowing its use in settings where malaria is endemic. This new assay achieved good allelic discrimination and detected high multiplicities of infection in 63 P. vivax infections in Cambodia. More than half of the recurrent...
