analysis of plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein-1 gene sequences
the emergence of plasmodium vivax in dashte moghan in northwestern iran has become a major concern for iranian's health officials. knowledge of genetic make up of the p. vivax populations in this area would give us an insight into the origin of the prevalent infections and the possible routes they are introduced. this paper reports the analysis of a variable region between the two interspecies ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Pv92, a Novel Merozoite Surface Protein of Plasmodium vivax
The discovery and understanding of antigenic proteins are essential for development of a vaccine against malaria. In Plasmodium falciparum, Pf92 have been characterized as a merozoite surface protein, and this protein is expressed at the late schizont stage, but no study of Pv92, the orthologue of Pf92 in P. vivax, has been reported. Thus, the protein structure of Pv92 was analyzed, and the gen...
متن کاملAntigenicity and Immunogenicity of Plasmodium vivax Merozoite Surface Protein-3
A recent clinical trial in African children demonstrated the potential utility of merozoite surface protein (MSP)-3 as a vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The present study evaluated the use of Plasmodium vivax MSP-3 (PvMSP-3) as a target antigen in vaccine formulations against malaria caused by P. vivax. Recombinant proteins representing MSP-3α and MSP-3β of P. vivax were expresse...
متن کاملN-Terminal Plasmodium vivax Merozoite Surface Protein-1, a Potential Subunit for Malaria Vivax Vaccine
The human malaria is widely distributed in the Middle East, Asia, the western Pacific, and Central and South America. Plasmodium vivax started to have the attention of many researchers since it is causing diseases to millions of people and several reports of severe malaria cases have been noticed in the last few years. The lack of in vitro cultures for P. vivax represents a major delay in devel...
متن کاملdiversity of merozoite surface protein-3β gene of plasmodium vivax isolates from iran
background: plasmodium vivax malaria accounts for approximately 88% of malaria cases in iran. there is limited information on genetic diversity of p. vivax in the country and a need to develop and apply an effective vaccine against the disease is necessary. among many potential candidates, msp -3β gene is promising target. this study was designed and carried out to determine the variation of...
