pLDH level of clinically isolated Plasmodium vivax and detection limit of pLDH based malaria rapid diagnostic test.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The epidemiological control of malaria has been hampered by the appearance of parasite resistance to anti-malarial drugs and by the resistance of mosquito vectors to control measures. This has also been associated with weak transmission control, mostly due to poor control of asymptomatic patients associated ...
