A paradoxical population structure of var DBLα types in Africa.

A paradoxical population structure of var DBLα types in Africa.

The var multigene family encodes Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1), central to host-parasite interactions. Genome structure studies have identified three major groups of var genes by specific upstream sequences (upsA, B, or C). Var with these ups groups have different chr...
