Rapid evolution of malaria parasite density and standardization of thick smear examination for epidemiological investigations Trape Jean-François auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf reformatted digital access The results of epidemiological surveys and the follow-up of malaria endemicity are often difficult to compare due to the high frequency of low-density parasitaemia in semi-immune populations. Detecting malaria parasites is dependent on the conditions and methods of parasitological examination. A standardized method of examination in epidemiological surveys is proposed: this includes the systematic rapid determination of parasite density. specialized EPIDEMIOLOGIE PALUDISME ZONE ENDEMIE TEST IMMUNOLOGIE GOUTTE EPAISSE PARASITEMIE CONGO 052ANOPAL03 Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene 79 181-184 1985 0035-9203 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:24610 10.1016/0035-9203(85)90329-3 0035-9203 [F B24610] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:24610 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/pleins_textes_5/b_fdi_18-19/24610.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 1988-09-27 2025-05-22 fdi:24610 fre
