Malaria Detection Kits Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease and considered one of the leading causes of death in the world. Malaria is a fatal tropical disease that is caused by a parasite knows as Plasmodium. It is usually spread through the bite of an infected female mosquito. 300-500 million new infected cases are estimated every year with 1.5-2.7 million deaths worldwide. Most of the malaria-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. . Although blood is the sample most frequently used to make a diagnosis, both saliva and urine have been investigated as alternative, less invasive specimens There are 2 kits available for the detection of Malaria: ＊Ready to use format, including Master Mix for the target and PCR control to monitor for PCR inhibition and validate the quality ＊Specific Primer mix for the pathogen/virus/viroid of interest ＊Positive control and a negative control to confirm the integrity of the kit reagents ＊Loading dye and a DNA ladder to facilitate qualitative analysis of the results on an agarose gel
