Abstract excerpt
Two phenotypes of the circumsporozoite (CS) protein of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax occur in Thailand, each of which has a characteristic nonamer repeat: GDRA(A/D)GQPA for VK210-type and ANGAG-NQPG for VK247-type. We have sequenced the repetitive domains and flanking regions from 1...
