Evaluation of the percentage of P. falciparum-infected erythrocytes using fluorescence intensity obtained by the Pathway HT. Serial dilution of synchronized infected cultures (6% parasitemia) of P. falciparum 3D7 strain were conducted as described in Materials and Methods. A linear relationship was observed between RFU and percentage of infected erythrocytes. Error bars represent the standard deviation of the mean from three independent samples.
