TY - JOUR AU - Nuel, Grégory AU - Garcia, André PY - 2021 DA - 2021/01/05 TI - A timed tally counter for microscopic examination of thick blood smears in malaria studies JO - Malaria Journal SP - 6 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Despite many technological advances for malaria parasite detection (e.g. high resolution image acquisition), microscopic reading of thick blood smear (TBS) remains the gold standard. Even though available in low technology environment, the microscopy of TBS is slow and time consuming. Moreover microscopy may induce errors at many levels and has no quality control.
