Relative DNA yield in response to storage time (a) and sugar concentration (b) for reference DNA quantified from cotton wool substrates. Data points present mean fold change ± 95% CI, relative to substrates supplemented with neat reference DNA at time point 0 (a) or soaked in 8% fructose (b), for each species. Dilutions of reference DNA, originating from infected mosquitoes (log10 genomes/PCR, mosquito) range from 35 to 3461 genomes/PCR (P. berghei, orange) or from 59 to 5949 genomes/PCR (P. chabaudi, blue) (n = 3/concentration/group). CI, Confidence interval; Pb, Plasmodium berghei; Pc, Plasmodium chabaudi
