Figure 2From: A comparison of the sensitivities of detection of Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes by magnetic fractionation, thick blood film microscopy, and RT-PCRObserved gametocyte increase on MF preparations as compared to TBF preparations. Panel A: Mean gametocyte number per high power microscope field for each of the gametocyte density ranges for MF and TBF preparations. Panel B: Mean gametocyte density observed with MF and TBF for each of the gametocyte density ranges.Back to article page
