Genetic differentiation of Plasmodium vivax duffy binding protein in Ethiopia and comparison with other geographical isolates

Abstract Background Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (PvDBP) is a merozoite surface protein located in the micronemes of P. vivax. The invasion of human reticulocytes by P. vivax merozoites depends on the parasite DBP binding domain engaging Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokine (DARC) on these...
