Assessment of malaria real-time PCR methods and application with focus on low-level parasitaemia.

Assessment of malaria real-time PCR methods and application with focus on low-level parasitaemia.

In epidemiological surveys and surveillance the application of molecular tools is essential in detecting submicroscopic malaria. A genus-specific conventional cytochrome b (cytb) PCR has shown high sensitivity in field studies, detecting 70% submicroscopic malaria. The main objective of this study w...
