Abstract

This invention relates to novel nucleic acid probes and methods for detecting Plasmodium parasites as well as detecting different Plasmodium parasites selectively from one another.

Claims (4)

1. A method for detecting the presence of Plasmodium in a sample, said method comprising the steps of:

a) contacting said sample with a probe for detecting Plasmodium in a hybridization assay, wherein said probe is SEQ ID NO.: 1 or the full-length complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 1, under conditions that permit said probe to hybridize to Plasmodium nucleic acid; and

b) detecting said probe bound to the Plasmodium nucleic acid in said sample as an indication of the presence of Plasmodium in said sample.

2. A method of claim 1 , wherein said probe is the full-length complementary sequence of SEQ ID NO.: 1.
