Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein is encoded by a highly variable multicopy var gene family known to play a key role in malaria pathogenicity. Therefore, we investigated sequence variation, expression profile and immune response of the Duffy binding-like domain (DBLα) region of the var gene.
