This kit is intended for in vitro qualitative detection and identification of Plasmodium falciparum (P.f.), Plasmodium vivax (P.v.), Plasmodium ovale (P.o.) or Plasmodium malaria(P.m.) in venous blood or peripheral blood of people with symptoms and signs of malaria protozoa, which can assist in the diagnosis of Plasmodium infection.
Epidemiology
Malaria (Mal for short) is caused by Plasmodium, which is a single-celled eukaryotic organism, including Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium malariae Laveran, and Plasmodium ovale Stephens. It is a mosquito-borne and blood-borne parasitic disease that seriously endangers human health. Of the parasites that cause malaria in humans, Plasmodium falciparum is the deadliest and is most common in sub-Saharan Africa and causes most malaria deaths globally. Plasmodium vivax is the predominant malaria parasite in most countries outside sub-Saharan Africa.
