Physical and genetic locations of AFLP markers of <i>Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi</i> strain AJ whose Comparative Intensities (CI) were reduced below 50% in the progeny of the genetic cross between CB-pyr10 and AJ following selection in an AJ-immunised mouse (see text).

The six AJ markers with CI of <20% in the AJ-immune selected cross progeny mapped to positions closely linked to the gene encoding the P. c. chabaudi merozoite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) are indicated in bold. ND not determined. *The first and second numbers in brackets represent percentages of parasite DNA carrying the AJ alleles of the indicated gene ( msp-1 or ama-1), respectively in the AJ-immune selected cross progeny and in the non-immune selected cross progeny, as measured by RTQ-PCR (see text) **Numbers after ‘pf’’ indicate the Plasmodium falciparum chromosome number followed by distance along the chromosome in kilo base pairs
