Figure 1

Molecular detection of Plasmodium vivax in blood samples from mother and newborn by the amplification of Pvmsp1 gene. PCR products were separated by electrophoresis through a 2.2% agarose gel stained with ethidium bromide and flanked by a 100 bp DNA ladder (Fermentas) as size marker. Lane MM = Molecular marker 100 bp. Lane M = Maternal peripheral blood at delivery. Lane C = Umbilical cord blood. Lane P = Placental blood. Lane N0 = Newborn's blood at birth. Lane N21 = Newborn’s blood at 21 days of life. Lane C + = Positive Control. Lane C- = Negative Control.
