Combined DNA extraction and antibody elution from filter papers for the assessment of malaria transmission intensity in epidemiological studies
2 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Informing and evaluating malaria control efforts relies on knowledge of local transmission dynamics. Serological and molecular tools have demonstrated great sensitivity to quantify transmission intensity in low endemic settings where the sensitivity of traditional methods is limited. Filter paper blood spots are commonly used a source of both DNA and antibodies. To enhance the operational...
