Sensitive and accurate quantification of human malaria parasites using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR)

Accurate quantification of parasite density in the human host is essential for understanding the biology and pathology of malaria. Semi-quantitative molecular methods are widely applied, but the need for an external standard curve makes it difficult to compare parasite density estimates across studi...
