  abstract = {{B}ackground: {P}arasite concentration methods facilitate molecular, biochemical and immunological research on the erythrocytic stages of {P}lasmodium. {I}n this paper, an adaptation of magnetic {MACS}(({R})) columns for the purification of human {P}lasmodium species is presented. {T}his method was useful for the concentration/purification of either schizonts or gametocytes. {R}esults and conclusions: {T}he magnetic removal of non-parasitized red blood cells (in vivo and in vitro) using magnetic columns ( {MACS}) was evaluated. {T}his easy-to-use technique enriched schizonts and gametocytes from {P}lasmodium falciparum in vitro cultures with a very high degree of purity. {I}n addition, all haemozoin-containing stages (schizonts and/or gametocytes) from the peripheral blood of infected patients could be concentrated using this method. {T}his method is particularly useful for the concentration of non-falciparum species, which do not grow in culture and are otherwise difficult to obtain in large amounts.},
