Antimalarial medication
Antimalarial medications or simply antimalarials are a type of antiparasitic chemical agent, often naturally derived, that can be used to treat or to prevent malaria, in the latter case, most often aiming at two susceptible target groups, young children and pregnant women.
See Malaria culture and Antimalarial medication
Apicomplexan life cycle
Apicomplexans, a group of intracellular parasites, have life cycle stages that allow them to survive the wide variety of environments they are exposed to during their complex life cycle.
See Malaria culture and Apicomplexan life cycle
Blood plasma
Blood plasma is a light amber-colored liquid component of blood in which blood cells are absent, but which contains proteins and other constituents of whole blood in suspension.
See Malaria culture and Blood plasma
Blood smear
A blood smear, peripheral blood smear or blood film is a thin layer of blood smeared on a glass microscope slide and then stained in such a way as to allow the various blood cells to be examined microscopically.
See Malaria culture and Blood smear
Candle
A candle is an ignitable wick embedded in wax, or another flammable solid substance such as tallow, that provides light, and in some cases, a fragrance.
See Malaria culture and Candle
Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.
See Malaria culture and Carbon dioxide
Charles C. Bass
Charles Cassidy Bass (January 29, 1875 – August 25 1975) was an American medical doctor and researcher on tropical medicine who made significant contributions to understanding malaria, hookworm, and other diseases.

Density
Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume.
See Malaria culture and Density
Desiccator
Desiccators are sealable enclosures containing desiccants used for preserving moisture-sensitive items such as cobalt chloride paper for another use.
See Malaria culture and Desiccator
Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism is the property of materials that are repelled by a magnetic field; an applied magnetic field creates an induced magnetic field in them in the opposite direction, causing a repulsive force.
See Malaria culture and Diamagnetism
Differential centrifugation
In biochemistry and cell biology, differential centrifugation (also known as differential velocity centrifugation) is a common procedure used to separate organelles and other sub-cellular particles based on their sedimentation rate.
See Malaria culture and Differential centrifugation
Ex vivo
Ex vivo (Latin: "out of the living") literally means that which takes place outside an organism.
See Malaria culture and Ex vivo
Fire extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is a handheld active fire protection device usually filled with a dry or wet chemical used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergencies.
See Malaria culture and Fire extinguisher
Hemozoin
Haemozoin is a disposal product formed from the digestion of blood by some blood-feeding parasites. Malaria culture and Hemozoin are malaria.
See Malaria culture and Hemozoin
Incubator (culture)
An incubator is a device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures.
See Malaria culture and Incubator (culture)
Malaria
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects vertebrates.
See Malaria culture and Malaria
Malaria vaccine
Malaria vaccines are vaccines that prevent malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease which affected an estimated 249 million people globally in 85 malaria endemic countries and areas and caused 608,000 deaths in 2022. Malaria culture and malaria vaccine are malaria.
See Malaria culture and Malaria vaccine
Nutrient
A nutrient is a substance used by an organism to survive, grow and reproduce.
See Malaria culture and Nutrient
Paramagnetism
Paramagnetism is a form of magnetism whereby some materials are weakly attracted by an externally applied magnetic field, and form internal, induced magnetic fields in the direction of the applied magnetic field.
See Malaria culture and Paramagnetism
Parasitemia
Parasitemia is the quantitative content of parasites in the blood.
See Malaria culture and Parasitemia
Parasitism
Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life.
See Malaria culture and Parasitism
Percoll
Percoll is a tool for efficient density separation in Cell biology that was first formulated by Pertoft and colleagues.
See Malaria culture and Percoll
Petri dish
A Petri dish (alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish) is a shallow transparent lidded dish that biologists use to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured,R.
See Malaria culture and Petri dish
Postdoctoral researcher
A postdoctoral fellow, postdoctoral researcher, or simply postdoc, is a person professionally conducting research after the completion of their doctoral studies (typically a PhD).
See Malaria culture and Postdoctoral researcher
Red blood cell
Red blood cells (RBCs), referred to as erythrocytes (with -cyte translated as 'cell' in modern usage) in academia and medical publishing, also known as red cells, erythroid cells, and rarely haematids, are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.
See Malaria culture and Red blood cell
RPMI 1640
RPMI 1640, simply known as RPMI medium, is a cell culture medium commonly used to culture mammalian cells.
See Malaria culture and RPMI 1640
Serum (blood)
Serum is the fluid and solvent component of blood which does not play a role in clotting.

The Gambia
The Gambia, officially the Republic of The Gambia, is a country in West Africa.
