Immunochromatographic methods have taken a lead in this regard, as these are relatively easier to perform but cannot differentiate amongst all the Plasmodia. |
The most satisfactory studies are obtained by plasmodia carefully brought in directly from the field. |
The plasmodia cells live in the stomach of the female Anopheles mosquito. |
How was it that no one asked himself how it was possible that the plasmodia could enter the current of the blood from the air? |
Most Plasmodia species have two or three distinct SSU rRNA genes that are differently expressed during it's life cycle. |
The project saved an estimated 15-25 million lives but foundered when, among other things, mosquitoes and plasmodia evolved resistance to their respective poisons. |
