This probe detected specifically P. falciparum DNA and did not cross react with DNA from man, P. knowlesi, P. chabaudi or P. cynomolgi. The probe was sensitive to detect a parasitemia of 0.001% in 20 microliters of blood.Mahidol UniversityMedicineDetection of Plasmodium falciparum using a cloned DNA probe: a simple procedure suitable for field application.ArticleSCOPUS
