Correlation of total parasitaemia (A), ring/trophozoite stage parasitaemia (B), schizont stage parasitaemia (C), and gametocytaemia (D) of Plasmodium vivax determined by flow cytometry and counting of the Giemsa-stained blood smear by light microscopy. The total parasitaemia, ring/trophozoite stage parasitaemia, schizont stage parasitaemia and gametocytaemia obtained from flow cytometry shown positive correlation with the one obtained from counting of the Giemsa-stained blood smear by light microscopy (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.9348 (N = 18), 0.8847 (N = 8), 0.6628 (N = 8) and 0.5293 (N = 8), respectively).
