Frequency and distribution of MSP-3 variants in Thai populations of Plasmodium falciparum. Plasmodium falciparum samples were collected from endemic regions of Thailand: Mae Hong Son (MH), Kanchanaburi (K), Ranong (R), Trat (T), and Ubon Ratchatani (U). Ubon Ratchathani is located at the Laos–Thailand border, Trat is located at the Cambodian–Thailand border, and the other three sites are located along the Myanmar–Thailand border. Numbers (n) of the total parasite isolates in Thailand (overall) or the parasites from each locality are displayed in the bracket. Numbers in pie charts represent percentage of MSP-3 variants. Variants 1 and 2 are from the 3D7 allele of msp-3, while the others belong to the K1 allele of msp-3
