Giemsa stain is not required for real-time PCR b. It allows for species identification and quantification of malaria-causing plasmodium at lower blood concentration with greater sensitivity and specificity. c. Real-time PCR doesn't require the use of a microscope which is deemed too expensive. d. Real-time PCR has a hiher sensitivity for the main malaria-causing plasmodium, P. falciparum, than microscopy techniques. Thank you!!!arrow_forwardYou have purified a virus that infects turnip leaves. Treatment of a sample with phenol removes viral proteins. Application of the residual material to scraped leaves results in the formation of progeny virus particles. You infer that the infectious substance is a nucleic acid.
