Diagnostic findings

Microscopic identification is the method most frequently used to demonstrate an active infection.
Morphological comparison and images of Plasmodium species.
Molecular diagnosis techniques can complement microscopy, especially in species identification.
Antibody Detection can detect past (not necessarily active) infections.
Immunologic/Biochemical detection of malaria parasite products are available and under evaluation.
