Malaria Tests-DNA PCR and Quantitative Buffy Coat (QBC)
Journal Title: Advances in Clinical Toxicology - Year 2022, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Malaria, considered a tropical disease, poses a significant threat to public health especially in Sub-Saharan Africa [1]. It is a blood borne disease caused by a protozoan parasite called plasmodium [1,2]. Being blood borne, the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) can be found in the blood of infected persons with possible transmission to others either through blood transfusion or vector bite [2]. The malaria vector is the female anopheles’ mosquito which bites an infected person, picks the plasmodium and transmits it on bite of another individual.
