The
other day we had the blood parasite NEQAS come in. There were malarial
parasites in one film… They *weren’t*
P. falciparum… I think.
I’m
no expert on malaria. Well… compared to most of humanity I suppose I am, but
when it comes to speciation I do struggle; particularly differentiating between
P.vivax and P.ovale.
A
colleague pointed me at this website.
It’s not perfect, but it is a useful little guide.
