Fig. 1From: Single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of pvmdr-1 in Plasmodium vivax isolated from military personnel of Republic of Korea in 2016 and 2017Gel electrophoresis of P. vivax 18S rRNA and pvmdr-1 nested PCR. a 18S rRNA nested PCR. Blood samples were collected from malaria patients who agreed to the study. All blood samples collected in three hospitals (Yangju, Koyang and Ildong), during 2016 and 2017, were screened using 18S rRNA nested PCR. Based on the screened result, 73 samples were identified as positive samples. 1100Â bp or 120Â bp was detected by 2nd PCR of 18S rRNA. b Nested PCR targeting pvmdr-1 amplicons ranged from 104Â bp to 4,254Â bp were observed in 73 P. vivax positive samples using pvmdr-1 nested PCR.
