Homology blocks of Plasmodium falciparum var genes and clinically distinct forms of severe malaria in a local population
BACKGROUND: The primary target of the human immune response to the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), is encoded by the members of the hyper-diverse var gene family. The parasite exhibits antigenic variation via mutually exclusive expressio...
