A sensitive species-specific reverse transcription real-time PCR method for detection of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax
7 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
As the global burden of malaria decreases and countries strive towards disease elimination, there is a greater demand for sensitive diagnostics to target the submicroscopic reservoir of infection. We describe here a sensitive species-specific RT-qPCR method to differentiate between Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax infections at the submicroscopic level. With amplification of the 18S rRNA genes from total...
