The geographical distribution of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the mitochondrial genome of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum was investigated. We identified 88 SNPs in 516 isolates from seven parasite populations in Africa, Southeast Asia and Oceania. Analysis of the SNPs postulated a sub-Saharan African origin and recovered a strong negative correlation between within-population...
SERA5 is regarded as a promising malaria vaccine candidate of the most virulent human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. SERA5 is a 120kDa abundantly expressed blood-stage protein containing a papain-like protease. Since substantial polymorphism in blood-stage vaccine candidates may potentially limit their efficacy, it is imperative to fully investigate polymorphism of the SERA5 gene (sera5)...
Allelic diversity of the Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 1 gene (msp1) is mainly generated by meiotic recombination at the mosquito stage. We investigated recombination-based allelic diversity of msp1 in a P. falciparum population from Palawan Island, the Philippines, where malaria transmission is moderate. We identified the 5′ recombinant types, 3′ sequence types and msp1 haplotypes...
