Genetic diversity and natural selection of Plasmodium vivax reticulocyte invasion genes in Ecuador
Abstract Background Knowledge of the diversity of invasion ligands in malaria parasites in endemic regions is essential to understand how natural selection influences genetic diversity of these ligands and their feasibility as possible targets for future vaccine development. In this study the divers...
