Serological
Examination
Disadvantage of the test is the presence of circulatory antigen for many days even after elimination of viable parasite.
This test is still being established.
Molecular Diagnosis:
Detection of specific parasite Nucleic acids done by Polymerase Chain Reaction (
This technique is more accurate and reliable than Microscopic techniques
But the test is very expensive and requires highly equipped laboratory.
Drug Resistance Tests:
Drug resistance tests are performed to evaluate the efficacy of the drug against the malarial parasite mostly in an invitro technique.
In vitro tests: The Minimum concentration of the drug required to inhibit the growth of the parasite in a culture medium is detected by this method.
In vitro Molecular detection:
- Molecular tests done to evaluate the degree of resistance to drugs
- Molecular markers assessed by PCR or Gene Sequencing.

this was wonderfully done
Thanks for write-pus. Its very informative. You only talked about the treatment of malaria, but what about the treatment/avoidance of the Malaria Relapses, which is very important?
