Real-time PCR assays for detection and quantification of early P. falciparum gametocyte stages
Abstract The use of quantitative qRT-PCR assays for detection and quantification of late gametocyte stages has revealed the high transmission capacity of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. To understand how the parasite adjusts its transmission in response to in-host environmental co...
