Additionally, the control DNA samples were subjected to the same protocol to evaluate the specificity of the identification of other samples that included frozen human white blood cells and other hemoparasites including Plasmodium falciparum (n = 1), P. vivax (n = 1), Wuchereria bancrofti(n = 1), and Brugia malayi (n = 1). These DNA samples were collected from the storage bank at the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kaen University.
