Abstract excerpt
We have sequenced the circumsporozoite protein gene from 16 isolates from China, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. We found very limited polymorphisms in the non-repetitive regions of the circumsporozoite gene from these isolates. All samples from China contained a 36-bas...
