A sensitive species-specific reverse transcription real-time PCR method for detection of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax

A sensitive species-specific reverse transcription real-time PCR method for detection of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax

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 falcip...
