Analysis of polymorphisms in the merozoite surface protein-3a gene and two microsatellite loci in Sri Lankan Plasmodium vivax: evidence of population substructure in Sri Lanka

The geographical distribution of genetic variation in Plasmodium vivax samples ( N = 386) from nine districts across Sri Lanka is described using three markers; the P. vivax merozoite surface protein -3a ( Pvmsp -3a) gene, and the two microsatellites m1501 and m3502. At Pvmsp -3a, 11 alleles were fo...
