Field evaluation of DNA detection of human filarial and malaria parasites using mosquito excreta/feces.

We recently developed a superhydrophobic cone-based method for the collection of mosquito excreta/feces (E/F) for the molecular xenomonitoring of vector-borne parasites showing higher throughput compared to the traditional approach. To test its field applicability, we used this platform to detect th...
