A comparison of the sensitivities of detection of <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>gametocytes by magnetic fractionation, thick blood film microscopy, and RT-PCR
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The magnetic properties of <it>Plasmodium</it>-infected erythrocytes have been exploited for different clinical and research purposes. A recent study in a rural clinical setting in Papua New Guinea has demonstrated that &...
