1. The major Merozoite Surface Protein 1(MSP1) of Plasmodium falciparum is an important candidate for malaria vaccine.

2. The anterior end of the merozoite consisted of an apical vesicle, preconoidal ring and conoid.

3. The major Merozoite Surface Protein 1 ( MSP 1 ) of falciparum is an important candidate for malaria vaccine.

4. Major merozoite surface antigen-1, P195, is found to have ability to bind to human erythrocyte. The binding is the base of recognition of merozoite to erythrocyte.

5. Genes encoding merozoite surface antigen 2(MSP 2) of three Chinese isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from Hainan, Yunnan and Anhui Provinces were cloned and sequenced.

6. Objective: To clone whole merozoite surface protein-2(MSP2) gene of Plasmodium falciparum and express it in E. coli.

7. The merozoite membrane separated from the plasma, broke and was vague.

8. AIM: To identify the genotype of merozoite surface protein 1 of Plasmodium falciparum in Yunnan Province and explore the polymorphism of MSP1 genes in geographical characteristics and genetics.

9. Objective To determine the genotype distribution and to analyze the allele polymorphism of merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) of Plasmodium falciparum isolates in Hainan Province, China.

9.

10. Especially, one fragment of P195, M6, had the ability to inhibit the invasion of P. falciparum merozoite into human erythrocytes.

11. There were 22 microtubules originated from the polar ring, and extended alongside the inner pellicular complex to the posterior end of the merozoite.
