Extensive genome plasticity in Plasmodium involves frequent loss of dispensable functions under non-selective conditions, polymorphisms in subtelomeric repetitive regions, as well as rapid and apparently concerted variation in the intra-genic repetitive arrays that are typical of plasmodial antigen genes. As an example of the latter type of variation, the region of the merozoite surface antigen gene MSA-1 of...
