Figure 6From: Implementation of a novel PCR based method for detecting malaria parasites from naturally infected mosquitoes in Papua New GuineaDifferences in amplifications between samples extracted with PBS only and grinding solution containing casein and Nonidet P-40 in PBS. (A) Image showing some of the P. vivax (Pv) and P. falciparum (Pf) samples extracted with PBS only failed to produce representative bands (lanes 4–8). (B) The same batches of mosquitoes extracted with grinding solution containing casein and Nonidet P-40 in PBS showing positive bands (lanes 9–16). The products were run on 1% agarose gel with 100 bp ladder as molecular size marker (M).Back to article page
