Genotyping of C and F Regions of Plasmodium Falciparum EBA-175 in South-East of Iran

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2014
Background and Objective: The Plasmodium falciparum EBA-175, via Sialic acid dependent glycophorin A, binds to red blood cells and thus plays a critical role in cell invasion. Some part of second allele in its gene encoding in FCR-3 (Section F) and CAMP (
