Effects of modifying the World Health Organization standard operating procedures for malaria microscopy to improve surveillance in resource poor settings

BACKGROUND: Individuals with fever are screened for malaria in specially-established malaria diagnostic laboratories set up in rural hospitals in the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka. Large numbers of blood smears negative for malaria parasites are being screened daily. Good quality smear...
