Glucose phosphate isomerase heterophenotypes in the human filarial parasite Brugia malayi from peninsular Malaysia.
Glucose phosphate isomerase of subperiodic Brugia malayi was studied by horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. Two heterophenotypes, each represented by 3 bands of enzyme activity, were found among 38 parasites studied. This finding is attributed to the occurrence of 2 Gpi gene loci.
