Correlation of markers of total parasite density or asexual parasite density with Pfs25 qRT-PCR signal
| Marker | Day 0 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 7 | Day 10 | Day 14 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18S DNA | 0.27 (0.001) | 0.55 (0.001) | 0.55 (0.001) | 0.31 (0.050) | 0.67 (0.001) | 0.49 (0.050) |
| 18S RNA | 0.14 (0.110) | 0.91 (0.001) | 0.84 (0.001) | 0.35 (0.010) | 0.82 (0.001) | 0.62 (0.001) |
| SBP1 | 0.08 (0.355) | −0.06 (0.589) | −0.01 (0.955) | −0.05 (0.820) | −0.14 (0.525) | 0.01 (0.974) |
| REX1 | 0.13 (0.124) | 0.17 (0.278) | −0.21 (0.380) | −0.12 (0.729) | −0.28 (0.401) | 0.42 (0.201) |
| PHISTb | 0.24 (0.010) | 0.33 (0.198) | 0.11 (0.629) | −0.43 (0.397) | −0.20 (0.580) | NA |
NA = not available; qRT-PCR = quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction; REX1 = ring-exported protein 1; SBP1 = skeleton-binding protein 1. Presented is the Spearman correlation coefficient and the P value in parenthesis.
