Ribosomal and non-ribosomal PCR targets for the detection of low-density and mixed malaria infections
30 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The unexpected high proportion of submicroscopic malaria infections in areas with low transmission intensity challenges the control and elimination of malaria in the Americas. The current PCR-based assays present limitations as most protocols still rely on amplification of few-copies target gene. Here, the hypothesis was that amplification of different plasmodial targets-ribosomal (18S rRNA) and...
