Abstract excerpt
The merozoite surface protein MSP1, which is one of the most promising candidates for a malaria vaccine directed against erythrocytic stages, has been shown to be polymorphic in different malarial species. Characterization of the Plasmodium vivax MSP1 gene (Pv200) in two strains (Belem and Salvad...
