Abstract excerpt
An array of microhaplotypes - small segments of ≤200 nucleotides with heterozygous multiple-SNP exhibiting multiple allelic combinations - were identified in the Plasmodium vivax genome by Siegel et al. Interestingly, the microhaplotype has significant potential to distinguish relapse/reinfection and identify genetic relatedness across vivax-endemic areas. It is essential to validate the universal applicability...
