Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium knowlesi is the leading cause of malaria in Malaysia. Serine Repeat Antigens (SERAs) have an essential role in the parasite life cycle. However, genetic characterization on P. knowlesi SERA3 Ag2 (PkSERA3 Ag2) is lacking. In the present study, nucleotide diversity, natural selection, and haplotypes of PkSERA3 Ag2 in clinical samples from Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo were investigated. A...
