Ribosomal and non-ribosomal PCR targets for the detection of low-density and mixed malaria infections

Abstract Background The unexpected high proportion of submicroscopic malaria infections in areas with low transmission intensity challenges the control and elimination of malaria in the Americas. The current PCR-based assays present limitations as most protocols still rely on amplification of few-co...
