Table 2 Performance of the gametocyte genotyping assay in 161 P. falciparum gametocyte-positive paired DNA and RNA field samples
From: Genotyping Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes using amplicon deep sequencing
|  | Paired DNA/RNA samples (n = 161 infections, 102 individuals) |
|---|---|
Unique haplotypes in all samples (DNA and RNA) | 39 |
Unique haplotypes among all parasite stages (DNA samples) | 31 |
Unique haplotypes among gametocytes (RNA samples) | 28 |
Polyclonal infections | 88 (54.7%) |
Infections with an RNA haplotype not observed among DNA haplotypes | 15 (9.3%) |
Mean COI among all parasite stages (DNA samples) | 3.36 [range: 1–8] |
Mean COI among gametocytes | 1.67 [range: 1–4] |
