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.
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.
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.
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.
