Performance of the 18s-rRNA nested-PCR and COX-III single direct-PCR on samples from the Solomon Islands. a Strong non-specific bands in 14 samples were amplified when the genus-malaria 18s-rRNA nested PCR was used. The expected diagnostic band for Plasmodium spp is 235 bp (red arrow). b Nonspecific bands close to the 121 bp diagnostic bands for P. vivax (blue arrow); only the sample 13 shown a robust band. c Eighteen samples tested for Plasmodium spp using the COX-III gene, a band of approximately 500 bp (green arrow) represent positive samples
