Abstract excerpt
Relapse infections are an important obstacle to the successful treatment and control of Plasmodium vivax malaria, but the molecular basis of relapse remains poorly understood. To provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of relapse, paired primary and relapse isolates of P. vivax were subjected to single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and sequence analysis of the circumsporozoite and merozoite...
