A multiplex assay for the sensitive detection and quantification of male and female Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes
Abstract Background The transmission of malaria to mosquitoes depends on the presence of gametocytes that circulate in the peripheral blood of infected human hosts. Sensitive estimates of the densities of female gametocytes (FG) and male gametocytes (MG) may allow the prediction of infectivity to mo...
