Fig. 2

Melting curves of mixed Plasmodium infections (P. falciparum with non-P. falciparum). The x-axis shows the temperature (°C). The y-axis shows the negative derivative of fluorescence (RFU) with respect to temperature (T). The type of mixed infection is indicated above each melting curve diagram. Red curves correspond to the Texas Red labelled probe, purple curves to the Cy5 labelled probe, and brown curves to the Cy5.5 labelled probe. The arrows indicate the differences between a mixed infection and a mono-infection with P. falciparum. For the sake of clarity, the melting temperature thresholds were manually set at zero
