Excel spreadsheet showing the full results of the trial of PCR methods for detection of P. falciparum using artificially infected An. stephensi mosquitoes. Mosquito samples that had no exposure to P. falciparum and buffer negative controls are highlighted in grey. A P. falciparum positive result is indicated by (Pf+) and a negative result by (-).
