Malaria

Malaria is a serious, sometimes fatal, parasitic disease characterized by fever, chills, and anemia and is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. There are four kinds of malaria that can infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. In humans, the parasites (called sporozoites) migrate to the liver where they mature and release another form, the merozoites. The disease is a major health problem in much of the tropics and subtropics. More than 200 million people in the world have malaria.
The Malaria P.f test is a immunochromatographic (rapid) test for the qualitative detection of antigens of Plasmodium falciparum simultaneously in human serum
