Parasite genetic diversity detected by msp1 , msp2 and glurp . Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were categorized into molecular weight groups differing by 10 bp. (A) msp1. Orange bars represent K1; brown bars, MAD-20; and yellow bars, RO33 allelic families. The 18 K1 alleles ranged in size from 100 to 330 bp; the 5 MAD-20 alleles; 150 to 320 bp; and the 1 RO33 alleles, 220-230 bp. (B) msp2. Red bars represent FC27 and black bars represent IC3D7 allelic families. The 18 FC27 alleles ranged in size from 170 to 820 bp, and the 33 IC3D7 alleles ranged in size from 290 to 870 bp. (C) glurp. The glurp alleles ranged in size from 660 to 1,090 bp. Dashed purple lines represent fragment size thresholds for each gene [10].
