Genetic Diversity in New Members of the Reticulocyte Binding Protein Family in Thai Plasmodium vivax Isolates

BACKGROUND: Plasmodium vivax merozoites specifically invade reticulocytes. Until recently, two reticulocyte-binding proteins (Pvrbp1 and Pvrbp2) expressed at the apical pole of the P. vivax merozoite were considered to be involved in reticulocyte recognition. The genome sequence recently obtained fo...
