Assessing Plasmodium falciparum transmission in mosquito-feeding assays using quantitative PCR

5 Jul 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evaluating the efficacy of transmission-blocking interventions relies on mosquito-feeding assays, with transmission typically assessed by microscopic identification of oocysts in mosquito midguts; however, microscopy has limited throughput, sensitivity and specificity. Where low prevalence and intensity mosquito infections occur, as observed during controlled human malaria infection studies or natural...
