About this title

Synopsis

Master the practical study of malaria and blood parasites with a clear, field‑friendly approach.

This handbook offers hands‑on methods that let beginners use a simple microscope, a few slides, and basic stains to study malaria and related haematozoa. It guides you from preparing dry and wet blood films to identifying parasite forms, pigments, and life cycles, all with an emphasis on work possible in tropical settings.

The book blends core technique with science, sharing how to observe parasites under real conditions, rather than only in perfect lab environments. It also expands to cover other blood parasites and related organisms, making it a practical reference for students, clinicians, and researchers in tropical medicine.
