3 Diagnosis of malaria Thin film (better for species identification). Thick film (more sensitive). QBC (quantitative buffy coat, BD). Antigen-detection. Molecular methods (New Microbiol :69.). Serology. (Platelet count: low in case of severe P. falciparum infection).

4 Thick film Blood (finger, tube), no anticoagulants. Immediately after sampling. Defibrination (at least during one minute). Not too thick. Allow drying. Quality of the water (ph). Also for Babesia, Borrelia, Trypanosoma, filaria (last pictures). U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

6 Thick film Only with disposable fingerstick devices (Acta Clinica Belgica :63-69.). Can also be made with blood with anticoagulants (EDTA). Allow then much longer drying.

7 Thick film made with EDTA blood

8 Diagnosis of malaria 1 parasite / rbc = fever (nonimmune person) rbc in a thin film = 30 min. Thick film = concentration technique. Thick film = 10 to 30 times more sensitive than thin film. Thick film = 3 to 5 (10) min. U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

9 Diagnosis of malaria 1 parasite / rbc = fever (non-immune person) = parasites / μl. Tolerance in immune persons = ( ) parasites / μl. Cerebral malaria in children (P. falciparum): parasites / μl associated with fatal issue. (Wéry, 1995).

10 Thick - thin film, objective 100 x wbc, rbc Giemsa 100 fields 0.25 μl / 10 min 2500 wbc rbc one = 4 parasites / μl 50 / μl = fever in nonimmune = 12.5 / film May-Grünwald-Giemsa 100 fields 0.01 μl / 10 min 100 wbc rbc one = 100 parasites / μl 50 / μl = fever in nonimmune = 0.5 / film Wéry M Protozoologie Médicale.

11 Diagnosis of malaria Geographical distribution of different species should be taken into account. Plasmodium falciparum limited to (sub-) tropical areas (summer isotherm of 20 C, altitude < 2000 m). Mixed infections are not uncommon (eg P. falciparum + P. ovale in West Africa).

12 Duffy blood group system = receptor P. vivax West & Central Africa Duffy bg: absent Plasmodium ovale East Africa Duffy bg: present Plasmodium vivax Wéry M Protozoologie Médicale.

14 MALARIA (falciparum) (vivax) falciparum vivax malariae (vivax) (malariae) vivax falciparum malariae vivax ovale falciparum malariae ovale According to M. Wéry, 1995

15 Malaria: antigens HRP-2: watersoluble histidine-rich protein from axesual stages and young gametocytes of P. falciparum (related to knob-associated HRP-1 and HRP-3). Pan-malarial antigen: pldh or aldolase, present in all four Plasmodium spp. A. Moody CMR, 15:66-78.

16 Malaria antigen (HRP2) detection Sensitivity: (and less) parasites / µl. False negatives due to very high parasitemias.

17

18 Diagnosis of malaria antigendetection Persistent positivity with gametocytes (JCM, 2001, 1025). PMA is expressed by P. malariae (JCM, 2001, 2035). Moody A CMR, 15: Rapid diagnostic tests for malaria parasites (review).

19 Lee N. et al JCM., 44: Effect of sequence variation in Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 on binding of specific monoclonal antibodies: implications for rapid diagnostic tests for malaria. Sequence variation can help to explain the variations in the performance of HRP-based RDTs and point toward possible solutions.

20 Prozone in 16 of 17 HRP-2 based RDTs P. Gillet Dissertation at the Maastricht University.

21 Malaria antigen detection Prozone: how to avoid? Always have a look at the thick film Perform always HRP2 & LDH or aldolase If low platelets look a second time at the thick film

22 Species-specific PCR diagnosis of malaria (CDC) 1. P. vivax 2. P. malariae 3. P. falciparum 4. P. ovale Two step nested PCR using the primers of Snounou et al. CDC, 2001.

24 Malaria serology Only P. falciparum cultivated in vitro. To exclude malaria e.g. among travellers. Blood donation from travellers. For epidemiological reasons. Wéry M., 1995.

25 Malaria: staining procedures used Thick film: Giemsa staining. Thin film: May-Grünwald staining.

26 Inexpensive method of diluting Giemsa stain Petithory J.C. et al JCM, 43: bottles of Evian water. ph: 7.36 Ready to use and stable for weeks.

27 ph 7.2 = optimal ph : less coloured parasites and stippling ph 7.6: stronger coloured parasites and stippling

28 UK NEQAS Parasitology on the web Why is malariology so difficult? I firmly believe that knowledge and experience arises from constant practice and exposure to a wide variety of different forms of the parasites. The other problem is that no two strains of the same parasite are identical; intra-species variation is a characteristic of the malarial parasite.

29 Diagnosis of malaria Percentage of infected red blood cells. Ring stage. Trophozoite (growing ring stage). Schizont: number of merozoites: 2 (young) -24. Gametocytes: shape (crescentic ot rounded). Dots: James, Schüffner, Maurer. Pigment: P. malariae, P. ovale... Atypical elements. U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

30 Parasitized RBC All: Plasmodium falciparum. Young (reticulocytes, larger rbc): Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium vivax. Old (smaller rbc): Plasmodium malariae. Gentilini & Duflo
