Flow Cytometric Enumeration of Parasitemia in Cultures of Plasmodium falciparum Stained with SYBR Green I and CD235A

Figure 3

Correlation between FACS and Giemsa stained microscopic determinations of parasitaemia with artificially diluted samples. The lines represented the linear regression whose statistical parameters were shown in the inset. Each symbol represented FACS measurement of parasitemia (in 10,000 RBCs) and its corresponding microscopic manual count. Plotted parasitemias ranged from 0.01% to 22.0% (expected values).
