We present a seminested PCR method that specifically discriminates between Plasmodium ovale curtisi and P. ovale wallikeri with high sensitivity. The test is based on species-specific amplification of a size-polymorphic fragment of the tryptophan-rich antigen gene, potra, which also permits discrimination of intraspecific sequence variants at this locus.
我们提出了一种半巢式聚合酶链反应(PCR)方法,该方法能够以高灵敏度特异性地区分柯氏疟原虫和沃氏疟原虫。该检测基于对富含色氨酸抗原基因potra的一个大小多态性片段进行种特异性扩增,这也能够区分该位点的种内序列变异。
