DNA sequence analysis of eighteen PNG samples. VK210 (top) and VK247 (bottom) were analyzed from both Wosera and Mugil. Sample ID codes correspond to individual isolates. Repeats are classified using uniquely shaded blocks; each block corresponds to a different amino acid repeat motif observed in the sequenced sample (VK210 motifs A–C; VK247 D–F). Samples were found to exhibit 17–20 repeats. Two of the three recognized repeated sequence motifs (A and B) were observed with VK210 isolates. The minor VK210 motif, motif C (GDRAPGQPA) was not observed in any of our samples.We observed all three VK247 repeat sequence motifs (D–F). The minor repeat (ANGADDQPG) was observed 4 times among the 6 VK247 isolates. Sequence analysis showed that the terminal amino acid sequence motifs were 100% concordant with GDRAAGQPA (VK210) and ANGAGNQPG (VK247) predicted by previously reported P.vivax strains (not shown here). Shared motif patterns were observed between VK210. No shared motif patterns were observed between VK247 infected people or regions. Sequence GenBank accession nos. EU031819–EU031836.
