Genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax revealed by the merozoite surface protein-1 icb5-6 fragment

Abstract Background Plasmodium vivax remains a potential cause of morbidity and mortality for people living in its endemic areas. Understanding the genetic diversity of P. vivax from different regions is valuable for studying population dynamics and tracing the origins of parasites. The PvMSP-1 gene...
