Abstract excerpt
The microneme protein-1 (MP-1) of Plasmodium knowlesi and Plasmodium vivax facilitates merozoite invasion of the erythrocyte by binding to Duffy blood group antigens. Since this protein is important in the invasion process and is a potential vaccine candidate, it is important to understand the nature of diversity within the MP-1 gene. Nine MP-1 gene sequences were compared from 2 isolates of P. knowlesi and a...
