Evolution of Genetic Polymorphisms of Plasmodium falciparum Merozoite Surface Protein (PfMSP) in Thailand
Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a major public health problem in Thailand due to the emergence of multidrug resistance. The understanding of genetic diversity of malaria parasites is essential for developing effective drugs and vaccines. The genetic diversity of the merozoite surface protein-1 (PfMSP-1) and merozoite surface protein-2 (PfMSP-2) genes was investigated in a total of 145 P. falci...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity Block 2 of Surface Protein-1 in Plasmodium Falciparum Merozoite by Nested-PCR Method in Southeastern Iran
Abstract Background and Objectives: Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein-1 (PfMSP-1) is a promising vaccine against malaria during its blood stages which play an important role in immunity to this disease. Polymorphic nature of this gene is a major obstacle in making an effective vaccine against malaria. In this study, the genetic diversity of Plasmodi...

asymptomatic malaria (asm) has been implicated in the development of hemolytic crisis in infected sickle cell anemia (sca) patients worldwide. this study surveyed steady state sca nigerian patients for asm to investigate the influence of malaria prevention behaviors and age on parasitaemia and multiplicity of infection (moi). a total of 78 steady sca patients aged 5 – 27 years on routine care a...
متن کاملallelic forms of merozoite surface protein-3 in plasmodium falciparum isolates from southeast of iran
background genetic diversity has provided plasmodium falciparum with the potential capacity of avoiding the immune response, and possibly supported the natural selection of drug or vaccine-resistant parasites. merozoite surface protein-3 (msp-3) has been used to develop vaccines and investigate the genetic diversity regarding p. falciparum malaria in iran. objectives the main goal of this study...

Asymptomatic malaria (ASM) has been implicated in the development of hemolytic crisis in infected sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients worldwide. This study surveyed steady state SCA Nigerian patients for ASM to investigate the influence of malaria prevention behaviors and age on parasitaemia and multiplicity of infection (MOI). A total of 78 steady SCA patients aged 5 - 27 years on routine care a...
