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

Figure 3

Phylogenetic analysis of PvMSP-3α gene. The phylogenetic tree of 13 PvMSP-3α sequences was constructed using a neighbor-joining method with the MEGA7 Program. The numbers on the branches indicate the bootstrap proportions (1,000 replicates). Salvador I AF491960.1, Myanmar EU430585.1, and Belem AF093584.2 are the PvMSP-3α sequences previously published in GenBank. Y, T, M, and K are the PvMSP-3α sequences of P. vivax isolates from Yala, Tak, Mae Hong Son, and Kanchanaburi provinces, respectively.
