Molecular characterization and phylogenetic analysis of Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium cynomolgi.

ABSTRACT: 18S ribosomal RNA gene sequences of different species of Plasmodium were aligned and analyzed to determine the molecular diversity among different species of Plasmodium. AT content of P. cynomolgi, P. ovale, P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae ranged from 62.30 to 63.15, 63.90 to 65.29, 66.67 to 68.40, 61.66 to 63.25 and 64.09 to 76.36 in case respectively. GC content of P. cynomolgi, P. ovale, P. falciparum, P. vivaxand P. malariae ranged from 36.85 to 37.70, 34.71 to 36.43, 31.60 to 33.27, 23.64 to 35.91 and 36.75 to 38.34 respectively. Molecular weight (Da) of P. cynomolgi, P. ovale, P. falcipa
