From: Utility of ultra-sensitive qPCR to detect Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax infections under different transmission intensities

Fig. 1

Proportion of P. falciparum and P. vivax infections detected by qPCR versus us-qPCR by country. Proportion of P. falciparum (a) and P. vivax infections (b) positive by species-specific 18S rRNA qPCR among all samples positive by any qPCR assay (standard qPCR or us-qPCR) and parasite densities of P. falciparum (c) and P. vivax infections (d) detected by 18S rRNA qPCR versus only by us-qPCR. White circles: infection detected by standard qPCR; black circles: infection detected only by us-qPCR. 1Owing to exhaustion of DNA, the parasite densities of 5 Brazilian samples (white circles) were quantified by 18S rRNA qPCR
