Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to assess the baseline genetic diversity of the Plasmodium vivax population in an endemic area of northeast Myanmar at the onset of the malaria elimination campaign in the Greater Mekong Subregion. We genotyped 125 P vivax clinical samples at two merozoite surface protein loci, PvMSP1 and PvMSP3α, by amplicon deep sequencing. Our study revealed that the parasite population in this region was...
