Table 4. Parasite loads in ATL clinical samples using qPCR assays targeting HSP70 and 18S rDNA.

HSP70 18S rDNA
Positive samples 59/88 77/88
True-negative samples 20 6
Parasite load median (parasite equivalents) 1922.74 1283.04
Maximum burden 37991.56 27295.49
Minimum burden 0.09 0.04
Interquartile range (25–75%) 3.36–439.61 0.57–293.95

The median, interquartile ranges (25–75%), maximum and minimum burdens for the HSP70 and 18S rDNA positive samples were also calculated.
