Electrophoretic variants of enzymes in isolates of Plasmodium falciparum, P. malariae and P. vivax from Thailand.

A new electrophoretic variant of glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI), which we now denote GPI-3, has been found in isolates of Plasmodium falciparum from 6 patients, all of whom acquired the infection in the same region (in or near Prachinburi province) of Thailand. In other regions, from which 453 isolates have been tested, only GPI-1 and/or GPI-2 have been found. Two isolates of P. malariae from patients at Kanchanaburi showed a band of GPI activity on cellulose acetate gels at a cathodal position quite distinct from that of any previously known GPI variants in other human malaria parasites. Thirty-nine isolates of P. vivax from 3 regions of Thailand have been examined for variants of GPI and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Three forms of GPI were found, corresponding approximately in band positions to GPI-1, 2 and 3 of P. falciparum. The position of the band of LDH activity in P. vivax was the same in all the isolates examined, and different from that of LDH-1 in P. falciparum.
