Figure 3. Utility of microscopy, qPCR, PfHRP-2 and pLDH ELISAs in predicting clinical episodes.

Figure 3

Parasite dynamics before clinical malaria attack (day 0) as measured by (A) PfHRP-2, (B) pLDH (C) Microscopy and (D) qPCR, for the 12 participants with microscopically confirmed clinical malaria. Parasite dynamics after clinical attack are also presented for PfHRP-2 (A). Error bars represent standard error of mean of the parasitemia values at each time point. The arrows indicate the day of treatment. Microscopy, pLDH and qPCR did not detect malaria parasites after the treatment.
