ABSTRACT
One hundred and eighty nine isolates of Plasmodium falciparum collected in Thailand, and eleven originating from Cambodia, have been typed by starch-gel electrophoresis of six enzymes (GPI, LDH, GDH, PGD, ADA, PEPE). Substantial polymorphism was found only with GPI. Occasional variants occurred with ADA, while the other four enzymes appeared to be invariant by the tests used. The results are compared with those of similar studies on African isolates, and lead to the provisional conclusion that P. falciparum isolates from different different endemic areas constitute a single, world wide species, containing potentially interbreeding individual organisms.
