Ultra-sensitive detection of Plasmodium falciparum by amplification of multi-copy subtelomeric targets.
<h4>Background</h4>Planning and evaluating malaria control strategies relies on accurate definition of parasite prevalence in the population. A large proportion of asymptomatic parasite infections can only be identified by surveillance with molecular methods, yet these infections also co...
