TI  - Epidemiological study of malaria in north Sulawesi, Indonesia by fluorescence and 
      Giemsa staining.
PG  - 175-84
AB  - An epidemiological study of malaria infection was conducted in the Likupang 
      District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, during August 
      2-15, 1991. In this study, 510 people of six villages, representing ages between 
      1 month to 84 years cooperated voluntarily. Blood smears stained with Giemsa and 
      acridine orange (AO), revealed 33 and 83 malaria parasite positives respectively. 
      This significant difference was due particularly to the fact that AO staining 
      examined under either a daylight- or halogen-illuminated microscope equipped with 
      interference filters was sensitive to detect low-density parasitemia in many 
      subjects previously diagnosed negative by Giemsa staining in the field. The low 
      malaria prevalence obtained by Giemsa staining may have been attributable to the 
      lack of standard-quality diagnostic tools in the field or inadequate observation 
      of the slides. In both staining methods, Plasmodium falciparum was found to be 
      the predominant species, while the remainings were P. vivax or a mixture of both. 
      Subjects infected with P. vivax revealed higher density of parasitemia and 
      gametocytemia than those with P. falciparum.
