Human malaria diagnosis using a single-step direct-PCR based on the Plasmodium cytochrome oxidase III gene [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Nested PCRs based on the Plasmodium 18s-rRNA gene have been extensively used for human malaria diagnosis. However, they are not practical when large quantities of samples need to be processed, further there have been challenges in the ...

Genetic polymorphisms in the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium malariae show a geographical bias

Malaria Journal, 2018
Background Plasmodium malariae is characterized by its long asymptomatic persistence in the human host. The epidemiology of P. malariae is incompletely understood and is hampered by the limited knowledge of genetic polymorphisms.

Asymptomatic Plasmodium Infections in Children in Low Malaria Transmission Setting, Southwestern Uganda

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
A survey of asymptomatic children in Uganda showed Plasmodium malariae and P. falciparum parasites in 45% and 55% of microscopy-positive samples, respectively. Although 36% of microscopy-positive samples were negative by rapid diagnostic test, 75% showed

PCR - based diagnosis to evaluate the performance of malaria reference centers Diagnóstico baseado em PCR para avaliar o desempenho de centros de referência em malária

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 2004
Although the Giemsa-stained thick blood smear (GTS) remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of malaria, molecular methods are more sensitive and specific to detect parasites and can be used at reference centers to evaluate the performance of ...
