Abstract excerpt
To reveal the genetic characteristics of one member of the Plasmodium falciparum repetitive interspersed family (rif), we sequenced the rif gene (PF3D7_1254800) in 53 field isolates collected from Ghana-imported cases into China and compared them with 350 publicly available P. falciparum rif sequences from global populations. In the Ghana-imported population, the nucleotide diversities were 0.05714 and 0.06616...
