Plasmodium detection by different diagnostic tools. A Proportion of P. falciparum detected with different diagnostic methods. B Venn diagram of Plasmodium positivity by varATS, 18S rRNA qPCR and/or microscopy. C Correlation in parasitaemia between diagnostic tools. Error bars in A correspond to 95% confidence interval for estimated prevalence. Spearman rank correlation (C) is presented as the best fit line and the coefficient (r), as well as the p-value (p), are shown for each correlation pair between parasitaemia.
