Problems solved by technology

However, there are more or less defects in these methods: for example, the blood smear examination method is time-consuming and laborious, and when the protozoa density is less than 50 protozoa / μl blood, it is difficult to detect by microscopic examination, and it is easy to miss the diagnosis
However, the existing detection kits provide primers and probes, or have low specificity and sensitivity, or have false positive results, or the detection steps are cumbersome, the detection conditions are complicated, or the labor cost is high. Therefore, the design The method with simple detection steps, low cost, high sensitivity and specificity, and the primers and probes with high specificity and sensitivity, which are conducive to the setting of experimental conditions, will improve the stability, accuracy and quality of the method for detecting malaria parasites and their species. Practicality is of great significance and has become one of the issues that need to be improved

Embodiment 1

[0028] Example 1: Design and synthesis of primers and probe sequences

[0029] Search for the sequence of SSUrRNA, the target gene of Plasmodium pathogens, from Genebank, use relevant bioinformatics software for homology analysis and BLAST sequence analysis, and screen out highly conserved regions, and use the primer design software PrimerPremier5 to design primers and probes for the conserved sequences ; After the design of primers and probes, use NCBIBLAST to test the specificity, and use Primerpremier5 to detect whether there is a hairpin structure or dimer formation. The results show that the designed probe meets the specificity requirements and will not form a hairpin structure or dimer formation. Polymer. The designed primers and probe sequences are listed in Table 1.

[0030] Table 1 is used to detect the primers and probes of Plasmodium

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical fields of biological detection and biochemistry, and in particular relates to a primer, a specific nucleic acid probe and a detection method capable of rapidly and accurately detecting / identifying malaria parasites. Background technique [0002] Malaria is a parasitic disease that seriously endangers human health. It spreads to more than 90 countries and regions around the world, threatening 41% of the world's population. Together with AIDS and tuberculosis, it is listed by the World Health Organization as one of the three most serious infectious diseases threatening human health. There are many kinds of Plasmodium, and there are 4 kinds of Plasmodium that parasitize humans, and the clinical manifestations and symptoms caused by them are similar: generally intermittent chills, fever, sweating, sometimes causing splenomegaly and anemia; severe patients can cause cerebral palsy. , liver, kidney and other organ dama...
