Fig. 2

Showing the regression between rtPCR-based assays for DBS (Ct) and rtPCR-based assays for EPF (Ct) for the singleplex assay to detect generic Plasmodium (18S rDNA gene). The red fitted line shows the predicted value and cross line is the cut off 45 Ct. The blue dashed lines show the 95% prediction interval. The mean Ct value of EPF (Ct) is 36.3, and DBS (Ct) is 33.3, and the actual difference between DBS (Ct) and EPD (Ct) is 2.3 (95% Cl 1.1–3.5)
