Blood

Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.

See Parasitemia and Blood

Chronic condition

A chronic condition (also known as chronic disease or chronic illness) is a health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time.

See Parasitemia and Chronic condition

Diagnosis

Diagnosis (diagnoses) is the identification of the nature and cause of a certain phenomenon.

See Parasitemia and Diagnosis

Infectious diseases (medical specialty)

Infectious diseases (ID), also known as infectiology, is a medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of infections.

See Parasitemia and Infectious diseases (medical specialty)

Malaria

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects vertebrates.

See Parasitemia and Malaria

Molecular biology

Molecular biology is a branch of biology that seeks to understand the molecular basis of biological activity in and between cells, including biomolecular synthesis, modification, mechanisms, and interactions.

See Parasitemia and Molecular biology

Optical microscope

The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.

See Parasitemia and Optical microscope

Parasitic disease

A parasitic disease, also known as parasitosis, is an infectious disease caused by parasites.

See Parasitemia and Parasitic disease

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. Parasitemia and Parasitism are Parasitology.

See Parasitemia and Parasitism

Polymerase chain reaction

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a method widely used to make millions to billions of copies of a specific DNA sample rapidly, allowing scientists to amplify a very small sample of DNA (or a part of it) sufficiently to enable detailed study.

See Parasitemia and Polymerase chain reaction
