This kit is suitable for in vitro qualitative detection of Plasmodium falciparum antigen and Plasmodium vivax antigen in human peripheral blood and venous blood, and is suitable for auxiliary diagnosis of patients suspected of Plasmodium falciparum infection or screening of malaria cases.
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.
