Low genetic diversity in the locus encoding the Plasmodium vivax P41 protein in Colombia's parasite population

Background: The development of malaria vaccine has been hindered by the allele-specific responses produced by some parasite antigens' high genetic diversity. Such antigen genetic diversity must thus be evaluated when designing a completely effective vaccine. Plasmodium falciparum P12, P38 and P...
