Table 2. Geometric mean copy numbers by qPCR and ddPCR (Pf: n = 63, Pv: n = 53).

	P. falciparum copies/μL [CI95]	P. vivax copies/μL [CI95]
qPCR with circular plasmid	2007.3 [1027.3, 3922.3]	174.2 [66.0, 459.4]
qPCR with linear plasmid	267.6 [137.0, 522.9]	37.2 [14.1, 98.4]
ddPCR	162.4 [847, 311.4]	33.9 [16.5, 69.7]

For qPCR either a circular (supercoiled) plasmid or a linearized plasmid was used to generate a standard curve.
