Figure 3From: Long-term storage limits PCR-based analyses of malaria parasites in archival dried blood spotsCumulative proportion of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium positive dried blood spots using the PCR assays targeting the ssrRNA genes (Plu) for all 267 samples or a microsatellite (TAA87) for 40 samples, or the mitochondrial genome (mit) for eight samples, respectively. All assays were performed on templates prepared by QIAamp extraction.Back to article page
