Evaluation of a real-time quantitative PCR to measure the wild Plasmodium falciparum infectivity rate in salivary glands of Anopheles gambiae

Table 2 Comparison of CSP-ELISA with qPCR and multiplex PCR for detection of Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites

McNemar test: CSP-ELISA vs qPCR, P <0.001; CSP-ELISA vs PCR, P <0.001.
CSP-ELISA was performed on head-thorax-carcasses, and qPCR and multiplex PCR were performed on salivary glands DNA.
