  • The use of too many antibiotics in farming animals is causing pollution from antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which could harm human health.
  • These ARGs can spread through soil and water and even transfer to humans, making it a big concern worldwide.
  • Researchers need to find better ways to track and control ARGs in farming to keep both animals and people healthy, and there are still many things that need to be studied or improved.

Objective: To develop a method for detecting the genotype of Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein 1 (PvMSP-1) alleles.

Methods: According to the sequence characteristic of PvMSP-1, nested polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique was used to amplify the polymorphic region of ICB5-ICB6 which contains Q repeats and PvuII restriction site (Sal-1 type). The PCR product was digested by PvuII restriction endonuclease and the digested fragments were observed by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis.
