A comparison of PCR and ELISA methods to detect different stages of Plasmodium vivax in Anopheles arabiensis

A comparison of PCR and ELISA methods to detect different stages of Plasmodium vivax in Anopheles arabiensis

Abstract Background In characterizing malaria epidemiology, measuring mosquito infectiousness informs the entomological inoculation rate, an important metric of malaria transmission. PCR-based methods have been touted as more sensitive than the current “gold-standard” circumsporozoite (CSP) ELISA. W...
