NUCLEOTIDE AND AMINO ACID SEQUENCES ENCODING AN EXPORTED PROTEIN 1 DERIVED FROM PLASMODIUM VIVAX AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is directed to novel polynucleotides and polypeptidesdirected to EXP1 of Plasmodium vivax,and methods of using these polynucleotides and polypeptides in the detectionof P. vivax antibodies or anti-P. vivax antibodiesin a subject. The invention finds particular useful application in identifyingrecent exposure to P. vivax.
