Improved Plasmodium falciparum dilution cloning through efficient quantification of parasite numbers and c-SNARF detection

Abstract Background Molecular and genetic studies of blood-stage Plasmodium falciparum parasites require limiting dilution cloning and prolonged cultivation in microplates. The entire process is laborious and subject to errors due to inaccurate dilutions at the onset and failed detection of parasite...
