Implementation and validation of a new qPCR assay to detect imported human Plasmodium species by Camille Cordier, Samia Hamane, Théo Ghelfenstein-Ferreira, Sarah Dellière, Élodie Da Silva, Blandine Denis, Sandrine Houzé, Valentin Joste, Alexandre Alanio

“…ABSTRACT Diagnosis of imported malaria is based on microscopic examination of blood smears (BS), detection of circulating plasmodial antigen by immunochromatography (ICT), or detection of Plasmodium spp. DNA by loop mediated isothermal amplification. We have developed duplex (Plasmodium spp. and Plasmodium falciparum) real-time PCR (qPCR) and species-specific qPCR assays for the identification and quantification of human Plasmodium species. …”

COMMENTARY: LEARNER-BASED LISTENING AND TECHNOLOGICAL AUTHENTICITY by Richard Robin

“…Just as we began to teach metacognitive acquisition strategies, such as the use of background knowledge and prediction in the 1980s (see Nunan, 1999; Omaggio-Hadley, 2001; and Ur, 1984) for summaries of research and practice then and now), we should now teach meta-technical skills to language learners, rather than setting them out on a closed loop. Others have come to the same conclusion that technological literacy is an essential component of the language acquisition strategic toolbox (Godwin-Jones, 2000; Hubbard, 2004; LeLoup & Ponterio, 2000; Richards, 2000;). …”
