Figure 1From: Comparison of three molecular methods for the detection and speciation of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparumAn example of results from each of the PCR assays examined in this study. The example uses a paired single infection of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. A. Image of P. falciparum (300-bp) and P. vivax (276-bp) positive samples after multiplex PCR, run on 2% agarose at 100 v for 1 hour. B. P. falciparum (205-bp) and P. vivax (120-bp) positive samples after 2nd round nested PCR, run on 2% agarose at 100 v for 1 hour. C. Real-time PCR melt curves of P. falciparum (T m 74.5) and P. vivax (T m 78). Image provided by Optical Monitor Software v.3.1.Back to article page
