Strategies for Detection of Plasmodium species Gametocytes (original) (raw)
Figure 3
Comparison of two blood sampling strategies for measuring gametocyte prevalence rates.
(A) P. falciparum, (B) P. vivax. Gametocyte positivity (left panel) and transcript copy numbers (right panel) are shown for RNAprotect solution versus filter paper soaked in TRIzol. Only samples were compared for which both measurements were available.
