Schematic diagrams of the msp1 protein and amplicon deep sequencing region. a pvmsp1 blocks represent interspecies conserved blocks (ICBs)(white), conserved blocks (CBs) (hatched) and variable regions (black) according to del Portillo et al. [28]; b pfmsp1 blocks represent conserved regions (white), semi-conserved regions (hatched) and variable regions (black) according to Tanabe et al. [27]
