The routine procedure for detection of blood stages of Plasmodium spp involves Giemsa staining of thin and thick blood smears. This procedure, although simple, is time consuming, and its interpretation is dependent upon the training and experience of the observer. New methods for malaria diagnosis still require considerable financial outlay for specialist equipment and re-training of staff In this article, Hiko Kawamoto and Peter Billingsley discuss an efficient method for the detection of malaria parasites using low-cost, paired filters adapted for standard light microscopes and acridine orange staining.
检测疟原虫血液阶段的常规程序包括对薄血涂片和厚血涂片进行吉姆萨染色。该程序虽然简单，但耗时较长，其解读依赖于观察者的培训和经验。疟疾诊断的新方法仍需要大量资金用于购置专业设备和对工作人员进行再培训。在本文中，川本希子和彼得·比林斯利讨论了一种使用适用于标准光学显微镜的低成本配对滤光片和吖啶橙染色来检测疟原虫的有效方法。
