Enhanced detection of gametocytes by magnetic deposition microscopy predicts higher potential for <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>transmission
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Aggregated haemozoin crystals within malaria-infected erythrocytes confer susceptibility of parasitized cells to a magnetic field. Here the utility of this method for diagnosis of human malaria is evaluated in a malaria-endemic regio...
