Revisiting the multigene families: Plasmodium var and vir genes.

Journal of vector borne diseases - 1 Jun 2014

Singh Vineeta, Gupta Purva, Pande Veena

Abstract excerpt

Malaria is an infectious disease that is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. The malaria parasite is able to skip the host immunity and thus maintains not only persistent but also repeated infections. There are a number of multigene families in Plasmodium that code for the variant antigens and are targets for protective immunity. In this article, we summarize the virulence genes of P. falciparum (var...
