• Description:
  "This second edition of the Basic Malaria Microscopy package is a stand-alone product, providing all that is needed to conduct a complete training course. It has been compiled by John Storey on the basis of the feedback received from a wide range of professionals and experts who have been using the first Edition of the Basic Malaria Microscopy, published by WHO in 1991. It still contains the beautiful and accurate water-colour illustrations prepared for the first edition of the manual by the late Yap Loy Fong. Experience has shown that colour drawings are best in training new recruits to recognize parasite stages and species, because single plane pictures help students to extrapolate from what they see under the microscope, focussed at a number of focal planes, to a complete view of the parasite. Later, they can move from drawings and use microphotographs, which will have an additional, positive impact. The training course is further strengthened if copies of the WHO Bench aids for malaria microscopy are also made available to trainees."

  "The training package is divided in two parts: a learner's guide (Part 1) and a tutor's guide (Part II). The package includes a CD-ROM, prepared by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which contains microphotographs of the different malaria parasites species and technical information in PowerPoint format, which can be shown during training sessions and referred to by the participants"--P.
