A study of polymorphism in the circumsporozoite protein of human malaria parasites
1994
We have characterized the circumsporozoite (CS) gene sequences of Plasmodium malariae China-1 CDC, isolated recently from a person who was infected 50 years ago in China, and P. vivax Chesson, isolated 48 years ago from a patient who had returned from New Guinea. These protein sequences were compared with the CS protein sequences of recently isolated P. vivax and P. malariae parasites. In a similar manner, we compared the previously characteriied CS protein gene of P. falciparum clone 7G8, derived from a Brazilian isolate collected in 1980, with the CS protein genes of recent P. falciparum field isolates
