Table 1 Sample sizes and replicate scans. Summary of the number of spectra collected by experiment (sporozoites or oocysts), the number of parasites in the mosquitoes (intensity of infection) and number of times the same mosquito was scanned in different positions (replications). Values in parentheses indicate the percentage of the total samples with that intensity of infection or sample repetition
From: Detection of Plasmodium berghei infected Anopheles stephensi using near-infrared spectroscopy
