Abstract
A telomeric DNA fragment that was cloned from Plasmodium berghei was used to detect the genomic DNA of P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, and P. ovale. The fragment hybridized to the DNA of all four of these human Plasmodium species and can be used as an interspecific probe to detect human malaria.
