Plasmodium species-specific nested PCR. Lanes 1 and 5 show a DNA ladder marker (Bioneer, Daejeon, Korea). The Plasmodium genus can be identified from the presence of first-round amplification product (-1,000 bp, lane 2 and 6). Plasmodium species can be identified from the presence of second-round amplification products specific for P. falciparum (205 bp, lane 3), P. vivax (120 bp, lane 4), P. malariae (144 bp), and P. ovale (788 bp, lane 10) respectively. Only P. ovale DNA was detected from the patient's blood. Abbreviation: P, genus Plasmodium; Pv, P. vivax; Pf, P. falciparum; Pm, P. malariae; Po, P. ovale.
