<i>Plasmodium knowlesi</i> clinical isolates from Malaysia show extensive diversity and strong differential selection pressure at the merozoite surface protein 7D (MSP7D)

2019-02-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> High proportion of human cases due to the simian malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi in Malaysia has been a cause of concern, as it can be severe and fatal. Merozoite surface protein 7 (MSP7) is a multigene family which forms a non-covalent complex with MSP-1 prior to receptor-ligand recognition in Plasmodium falciparum and thus an important antigen for vaccine development. However, no stud...
