Genetic Diversity Of Merozoite Surface Protein 1 Gene Of Plasmodium Falciparum In Thailand, May Myat Thu
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
In 2030, World health organization's target is to eliminate malaria at least in 35 countries. At present, Thailand is low risk of malaria so that, it has the potential to eliminate. About 10 years ago, malaria prevalence was high along the country border areas. To prevent the recurrence in those areas, evaluation of drug susceptibility of parasites and vaccine are important. Therefore, basic knowledge on genetic diversity in malaria parasite is needed. Merozoite surface protein 1(msp1), one of the vaccine candidate genes, is useful for monitoring genetic diversity of the parasite and the potential gene of vaccine. However, high diversity …
