Abstract excerpt
We have critically evaluated 3 techniques for the detection of mutations conferring drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum, using samples containing known numbers of well-characterized parasites and artificial mixtures of these parasites at known proportions. We compared the sensitivity and specificity of mutation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR), polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction...
