Objective To screen and identify a specific nucleic acid target sequence for detecting Trypanosoma based on 60 S ribosomal protein L44(60 S RPL44) gene sequence of Trypanosoma brucei brucei, and evaluate its sensitivity and specificity. Methods The 60 S RPL44 sequence of T. b. brucei was blasted with its homologous sequences from Babesia microti, Leishmania donovani, Plasmodium vivax, P. falciparum, Toxoplasma gondii, as well as the other genera of protozoan and trypanosome species, on a public database.
