A single-step, PCR-based method for the detection and differentiation of<i>Plasmodium vivax</i>and<i>P. falciparum</i>
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
The ability to detect and differentiate between Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax is of great importance for the routine laboratory diagnosis of malaria, donor-blood screening and epidemiological studies. Most PCR-based methods for the discrimination of these two species require nested protocols or an additional hybridization reaction, leading to high labour costs and long turn-around times. A simple,...
