Genetic Diversity of MSP1 Block 2 of Plasmodium vivax Isolates from Manaus (Central Brazilian Amazon)

Figure 3

Evidence of intra-allele recombination in PvMSP1 Block 2. (a) Alignment of sequences of isolates (2, 80, and 59) showing exchange of homologues sequences. The segment of isolate 80 could have been originated from others isolates; blue rectangle shows exchange between isolates 2 and 80, red rectangle exchange between isolates 59 and 80 and (b) DNA-SP 5.0 analysis determined two putative recombination sites (dark and red boxes) in the PvMSPI gene for generating the isolate 80.
