Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 Genome sequencing. Plasmodium falciparum 3D7

Plasmodium falciparum surface-related antigen (SRA) locates on the surfaces of gametocyte and merozoite, has the structural and functional characteristics of potential targets for multistage vaccine development. However, little information is available regarding the genetic polymorphism of pfsra. To determine the extent of genetic variation about P. falciparum by characterizing the sra sequence, 74 P. falciparum samples were collected from migrant workers who returned to China from 12 countries of Africa between 2015 and 2019. The full-length of the sra gene was amplified and sequenced.
