Acute febrile illnesses such as P.falciparum Malaria, P.vivax Malaria, and Leptospirosis should be primarily suspected in tropical areas due to the high prevalence and high fatality rate. Case fatality ratios due to the lack of timely diagnosis are high among patients with P. falciparum Malaria and Leptospirosis. Additionally, P.vivax Malaria and P.falciparum Malaria diagnosis have been reported issues in identifying infections with low-level parasitemia. Furthermore, problems in the detection of mixed malaria infections and non-detection of malaria and leptospirosis coinfections have been reported. Therefore, the WHO has recommended the development of a qPCR-Multiplex method to simultaneously identify different pathogens in a single reaction. In this study, we designed and developed a “Multiplex FVL qPCR” capable of concurrently identifying three targets: Pfr364, Pvr47, and Rrs. Primers and probes were designed to identify concurrently multicopy sequences Pfr364 for P.falciparum, and Pvr47 for P.vivax identification with low-level parasitemia, and Rrs (16S rRNA) for Leptospira spp. identification. This “Multiplex FVL qPCR” assay successfully identified Pfr364, Pvr47, and Rrs concurrently, maintaining its effectiveness despite the multiplexing format. A regression analysis using the multiplex assay showed efficiency values of 93 % for Pfr364, 106 % for Pvr47, and 103 % for Rrs with R² values > 0.997. Also, the Multiplex FVL qPCR assay successfully displayed a highly sensitive limit of detection, suitable for identifying levels as low as 0.46 copies of Pfr364, 0.06 copies of Pvr47, and 0.63 copies of Rrs for P.falciparum, P.vivax, and Leptospira spp, respectively. Additionally, no cross-reaction was detected with another related microorganism. This study presents a promising “Multiplex FVL qPCR” platform for the diagnosis of single and coinfections of malaria and leptospirosis, with the potential to identify concurrently low-density parasites.
