Autigenic variation is OIW of the most effective strategies developed by parasites to escape inmune destruction. It requires a large wardrobe of surface coats and mechanisms to eschange one coat for an unrelated one. The molecular principles of antigenic variation are now largely known in the bacter
The inheritance of an extrachromosomal 6-kb element has been examined in the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. A single base pair difference in the cytochrome b gene from the 6-kb element of two different cloned lines of the parasite was identified, and used as a marker in a cross in the
