Fig. 2: amino acid sequence alignment for the central repetitive region (CRR) peptide encoded by the csp gene in the Plasmodium vivax isolates from Brazil with the VK210 variant. A: the isolates obtained from individuals residing in Manaus (state of Amazonas) were aligned with the Belém reference strain (GenBank: EU401923). Dots represent identical residues and dashes represent deletions. The sequences highlighted in gray are the units of CRR; B: schematic representation of the CRR. Different colours represent each of the six nonapeptide repeats found in VK210 subtypes.
