Genetic diversity and natural selection of Plasmodium falciparum Pf41 vaccine candidate in clinical isolates from Senegal

Abstract The merozoite surface antigen Pf41 was previously identified among the top 10 of new malaria vaccine candidates. Pf41 possesses red blood cell binding regions and conserved domains. We used population genetics approaches to determine the genetic diversity and to identify regions under balan...
