Hi-PCR® Malaria Probe PCR Kit

Malaria is a major tropical disease and an acute febrile and life-threatening illness caused by Plasmodium parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes called "malarial vectors”. Malaria is caused primarily by 4 species of the protozoa Plasmodium: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale. A fifth Plasmodium species, Plasmodium knowlesi, is a similar parasite that may be an important source of human infection in some regions of Southeast Asia.HiMedia’s Hi-PCR® Malaria Probe PCR Kit is designed to detect Malaria (Plasmodium UNIV) in FAM channel and Internal Control in JOE channel in a single tube reaction.
