Distinct Allelic Diversity of Plasmodium vivax Merozoite Surface Protein 3-Alpha (PvMSP-3α) Gene in Thailand Using PCR-RFLP

Figure 1

PCR-RFLP analysis of PvMSP-3α gene. (a, b) Allelic subtypes identified by Hha I RFLP patterns. (c) Allelic subtypes identified by Alu I RFLP patterns. A, B, and C indicate the uncut type A, type B, and type C allele variants, respectively. M1kb is 1 kbp DNA marker, M100 bp is a 100 bp DNA marker, and M50 bp is a 50 bp DNA marker.
