The geographical distribution of allele polymorphisms of Plasmodium vivax in different regions of Thailand
Objective: To investigate the genetic structure of Plasmodium vivax circumsporozoite surface protein (PvCSP) and P. vivax merozoite surface protein 1 (PvMSP1) genes from field isolates of malaria parasites from four different regions of Thailand. Material and Method: The data was collected by cross-...

Material and Method: The data was collected by cross-sectional survey, consisting of 273 P. vivax infected blood samples from malaria clinics in 4 different border regions of Thailand from February 2008 to February 2009. The dried blood spots were extracted for DNA and Plasmodium species confirmed by species-specific primer sets.

Result: There was considerable variation in the PvMSP1 gene within 2 fragments for which H E was 0.8303, whereas PvCSP showed low H E at 0.1418. Significant differences in allele frequencies between sites were quantified by Fst, Linkage disequilibrium (LD).

All values of Index association (I S A ) were non-significant. There was no evidence of LD within the P. vivax populations.
