Fig 1. The PCR-targeted region of the SSU rRNA genes from 5 malaria parasite species.

Fig 1

Partial sequences of the SSU rRNA genes from malaria parasites are indicated. Pf-S: The sequence from P. falciparum expressed at the sexual stage [GenBank: M19173]. Pf-A: The sequence from P. falciparum expressed at the asexual stage [GenBank: M19172]. Pv-S: The sequence from P. vivax expressed at the sexual stage [GenBank: U03080]. Pv-A: The sequence from P. vivax expressed at the asexual stage [GenBank: X13926]. Poc: The sequence from P. ovale curtisi [GenBank: L48986]. Pow: The sequence from P. ovale wallikeri [GenBank: AB182491] Pm: The sequence from P. malariae [GenBank: M54897]. Pk: The sequence from P. knowlesi [GenBank: AY327550]. The universal primers for the conserved region are highlighted in yellow (P1 and P2, see Table 1). The inner-specific primers (F2, V3, M4, Oc4, Ow1, and K1 [see Table 1]) are highlighted in blue.
