Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of human and other animals caused parasitic protozoans being to the genes Plasmodium.
Malaria parasites are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected female mosquitos of more than 30 anopheline spp. According to the latest estimates, there were about 198 million cause of malaria in 2013 (with an uncertainty rage of 124 million to 283 million) and an estimated 584,000 deaths (with and uncertainty rage 367,000 to 755,000). Malaria is caused by five species of parasites of the genus plasmodium that affect humans (P.falciparum, P.vivax, P.ovale, P.malariae and P.knowlesi) Mararia due to P.falciparum is the most deadly form and P.vivax is less dangerous but more widespread.
The other three species are found much less frequently. In the laboratory, malaria is diagnosed using different techniques.(e,g. Thin/thick blood smear, rapid diagnostic tests etc.). These methods showed relativity and low specificity than real time PCR method. Therefore, if you want to select accurate diagnostic product of malaria, Malaria RealAmp Kit is best choice.
