Description
Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium sp., a parasite that resides in the RBC’s and the liver.
Indications
Malaria is still one of the most prevalent parasitic diseases, particularly in tropical and subtropical undeveloped countries. Laboratory diagnosis using Giemsa-stained blood smears is commonly used for detection of Plasmodium sp. However, this technique is time-consuming and may be unsuitable for routine screening of blood donors since Transfusion-transmitted malaria can occur especially in endemic areas.
