Genetic polymorphism and natural selection of apical membrane antigen-1 in Plasmodium malariae isolated from Vietnam
This study highlights a substantial genetic heterogeneity of pmama-1 in P. malariae population and expands our knowledge on genetic nature of this gene. To understand the genetic nature and evolution of global pmama-1, further studies with larger numbers of P. malariae isolates from other global regions are necessary.
