Figure 1From: A highly sensitive, PCR-based method for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum clones in microtiter platesParasite detection limit of PCR. Number of parasites used in the PCR reaction plotted against the percentage of times they were detected positive from eight wells revealed that as few as 30 parasites (from a well with 0.0005% parasitaemia) can be detected consistently using this method.Back to article page
