Molecular Evolution of PvMSP3α Block II in Plasmodium vivax from Diverse Geographic Origins.

Block II of Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein 3α (PvMSP3α) is conserved and has been proposed as a potential candidate for a malaria vaccine. The present study aimed to compare sequence diversity in PvMSP3a block II at a local microgeographic scale in a village as well as from larger geogra...
