Similarities and discrepancies in detection of P. falciparum cases by different diagnostic methods. Venn-diagram showing distribution of positive results according to the diagnostic test used with qPCR as the reference method. All samples were sorted by thick blood smear (TBS), ultrasensitive rapid diagnostic test (uRDT), and conventional rapid diagnostic test (cRDT). All cases were low parasite density P. falciparum infections that occurred during CHMI
