Establishment of the 1st World Health Organization International Standard for Plasmodium falciparum DNA for nucleic acid amplification technique (NAT)-based assays

David J Padley, Alan B Heath, Colin Sutherland, Peter L Chiodini, Sally A Baylis, Malaria Journal 2008, 7:139 (24 July 2008)

It was highly relevant and important to set an international standard for the molecular detection of malaria parasites. This paper describes the process of standardization.
