Fig. 5From: Template copy number and the sensitivity of quantitative PCR for Plasmodium falciparum in asymptomatic individualsDetection of smear-positive samples by parasite count and template copy number. The clinical sensitivities of the qPCR assays for P. falciparum DNA reported here increased with parasite density and the template copy number in smear-positive, asymptomatic human subjects (n = 24 subjects per group, p < 0.001)Back to article page
