Comparison of amino acid polymorphism of K1 allelic types of pfmsp-3 between Myanmar and different geographical areas. Positions and frequencies of amino acid changes found in pfmsp-3 of Myanmar and other countries were compared. Each domain is presented by different color bar; alanine heptad repeat domains (black), glutamate rich domain (orange), and leucine zipper domain (green). The dotted red bar in India pfmsp-3 means missed sequence. The G169- and E297- represent deletion of an amino acid in the corresponding site. E272ETEEEELEEKNNE + means insertion in the position. The 298E + , 298E ++, and 298E +++ mean the numbers of inserted glutamate residues at the positions with 1, 2, and 3, respectively
