Fig. 4From: Genetic diversity of merozoite surface protein-5 (MSP-5) of Plasmodium vivax isolates from Malaria patients in IranThe association between linkage disequilibrium (LD) index (R2), and nucleotide distance among the pairs of sites in 35 Iranian MSP-5 gene of P. vivax isolates. The decline of LD index value by increasing nucleotide distance demonstrates that intragenic recombination may appear within Iranian P. vivax isolatesBack to article page
