Abstract
A method of detecting falciparum, tertian, quartan and ovale malaria parasites by using primers represented by the sequences (SEQ ID NO:1), (SEQ ID NO:3) to (SEQ ID NO:10): EQU 5'AAGTCATCTTTCGAGGTGAC3' (SEQ ID NO:4) EQU 5'GAATTTTCTCTTCGGAGTTTA3' (SEQ ID NO:5) EQU 5'GAGACATTCTTATATATG3' (SEQ ID NO:3) EQU 5'GAAAATTCCTTTCGGGGA3' (SEQ ID NO:1) EQU 5'CGACTAGGTGTTGGATGA3' (SEQ ID NO:6) EQU 5'GAACGAAAGTTAAGGGAGT3' (SEQ ID NO:7) EQU 5'ACTGAAGGAAGCAATCTAA3' (SEQ ID NO:8) EQU 5'TCAGATACCGTCGTAATCTT3' (SEQ ID NO:9) EQU 5'CCAAAGACTTTGATTTCTCAT3' (SEQ ID NO:10) This invention allows all of the plasmodia, which infect the human, to be detected easily, rapidly and with a high sensitivity or distinguished accurately from one another, thus permitting treatment for malaria and large-scale mass examination in the area where malaria is prevalent.
