Figure 2From: Identification and characterization of the merozoite surface protein 1 (msp1) gene in a host-generalist avian malaria parasite, Plasmodium relictum (lineages SGS1 and GRW4) with the use of blood transcriptomeAligned amino acid sequences of Plasmodium gallinaceum (Pg), Plasmodium relictum lineage SGS1 (Pr) and Plasmodium falciparum (Pf). Bars on top represent amino acid similarities: green: 100% identity, brown >30â<â100%, red <30% similarity. Blocks 1â17 are assigned according to Tanabe et al. [16] [compare Table 1 legend], blue: conserved, white: repetitive region; red, variable and green: semi-conserved region. Amino acid similarity (%) for the different block; solid line with filled circles: P. relictum (SGS1 vs GRW4), solid line with open circles: P. gallinaceum (Pg) vs P. relictum (SGS1) and dashed line with X: P. falciparum MAD20 isolate (X05624.2) vs K1 isolate (X03371.1).Back to article page
