We worked together with experts convened by the UNICEF/UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) to develop this manual for microscopy to detect, identify and quantify malaria parasites on stained thick and thin blood films in research settings.
The manual aims to enable researchers working on drug or vaccine efficacy trials, or in diagnostics, to deliver consistent and reliable data, promoting standardisation in reports.
