Stability of gametocyte-specific <it>Pfs</it>25-mRNA in dried blood spots on filter paper subjected to different storage conditions

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Real-time quantitative nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (QT-NASBA) is a sensitive method for detection of sub-microscopic gametocytaemia by measuring gametocyte-specific mRNA. Performing analysis on fresh whole blood samples...
