ULTRASENSITIVE LOOP MEDIATED ISOTHERMAL AMPLIFICATION (US-LAMP) TO DETECT MALARIA

摘要

Described herein is a method for detecting malaria from patient blood samples comprising loop mediated isothermal amplification of Plasmodium species including P. vivax, P. ovate, P. falciparum, P. malarae or P. knowlesi. Sets of genus- and species-specific oligonucleotide primers are used to amplify regions of the 18S rRNA gene.
