Article Synopsis
- In Tunisia, the detection of malaria in asymptomatic individuals is essential for malaria eradication efforts, relying mainly on microscopic blood smear analysis, which can be affected by the examiner's experience and parasite levels.
- A study was conducted with 260 participants from malaria-endemic areas, comparing the effectiveness of PCR and microscopy for malaria detection, with PCR revealing a higher detection rate than microscopy.
- The findings indicate that PCR is more effective than microscopy for identifying low levels of malaria parasites, especially in asymptomatic cases, which can help lower the risk of malaria transmission in Tunisia.
