Polymorphism of P. falciparum antigen genes and housekeeping genes. The amount of nucleotide diversity expressed by the standardized number of polymorphic sites per site (θs), the numbers of synonymous substitutions per synonymous site (dS), and non-synonymous substitutions per non-synonymous site (dN). Data were taken from Tanabe et al. [45, 47]. The asterisk denotes a significant difference between dS and dN (P < 0.01). Abbreviations: n, number of sequences analyzed; ama1, apical membrane protein 1; csp, circumsporozoite protein; msp1, merozoite surface protein 1; sera5, serine repeat antigen 5; serca, P-type Ca2+-ATPase; adsl, adenylosuccinate lyase
