Analysis of the genetic variability of PvMSP-3α among Plasmodium vivax in Brazilian field isolates

Reliable molecular markers are essential for a better understanding of the molecular epidemiology of Plasmodium vivax, which is a neglected human malaria parasite. The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of P. vivax isolates from the Brazilian Amazon using polymerase chain reactio...
