Abstract
⺠We have characterized the P. vivax metacaspase 1 gene in 63 vivax isolates. ⺠We have firstly identified size polymorphism in P. vivax metacaspase 1. ⺠Four different allelic sizes were found, resulting from the insertion of 1 to 4 tandem repeat regions. ⺠PvMCA1 genotyping is comparable to PvMSP1 genotyping at least in areas characterized by low malaria endemicity.
