ClustalW alignment output of all the representative profiles of the P. falciparum clinical isolates from three different countries and published Gambian data. Each group represents all sequence profiles identified in the country (indicated), and the variations are highlighted in the rectangular grid. The greatest variation was observed in Burkina Faso with 15 out of the 24 distinct sequence profiles observed in all the populations, while Sudan was the least diverse with only 4 of the 24 profiles.
