Abstract

The authors point out the use of P. falciparum antigens from man in the Malaria IFA test. In Malaria areas it is very easy to find them and although they are "coated" by antibodies they are quite valuable in significant titers. The use of P. falciparum from man is therefore very interesting for Malaria diagnosis in non endemic areas and very useful for Malaria surveys in endemic areas.
