To obtain the genetic structure of Plasmodium vivax populations in the northern and southern malaria-endemic areas in Iran, which differ in endemicity, sequence diversity in the variable block 5 and the C-terminal part of P. vivax merozoite surface protein 1 (Pvmsp 1) was analyzed. The variable bloc...
