The Horton Malaria Laboratory

Laboratory diagnosis methods of malaria infection

Background and Aim: To manage and control malaria - one of the most important infectious diseases in tropical and subtropical regions – a quick and accurate malaria diagnosis method is necessary as a high priority. For this purpose, several methods have been developed for the diagnosis of malaria, and currently, the examining the peripheral blood slide with an optical microscope as a gold stand...

Laboratory diagnostic methods of malaria infection

Malaria is one of the most important tropical infectious diseases. The incidence of malaria worldwide is estimated to be 300–500 million clinical cases each year with a mortality of between one and three million people worldwide annually. The accurate and timely diagnosis of malaria infection is essential if severe complications and mortality are to be reduced by early specific antimalarial tre...

Laboratory Diagnosis of Malaria

R apid and accurate diagnosis is a key to the success of an effective treatment of malaria. The global impact of malaria has spurred interest in developing diagnostic strategies that will be effective not only in resource-limited areas but also in developed countries, where expertise in malaria diagnosis is often lacking. Accurate diagnosis of malaria is necessary to prevent morbidity and morta...

Response to Horton and Dewdney

There are some points in the reply of Horton et al. [3] to my comment [2] on their paper [1] which I cannot let stand without a response. I provide here some clarification of how much I proved about the set of points where their law of motion is ill-defined. In a recent article in J. Phys. A [1], Horton et al. present what they claim is a Bohm-type law of motion for point particles, based on a ...
