Detection of antibodies against the CB9 to ICB10 region of merozoite surface protein-1 of Plasmodium vivax among the inhabitants in epidemic areas

摘要

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of the conserved block 9 (CB9) to interspecies conserved block (ICB10) region of Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1 (ICB910)) as a serodiagnostic tool for understanding malaria transmission.
