I see that you speak with experience in the field! Bioanalyst? Haha xD I will be limited because I do not have access to chemical material, imagine something as basic as Lugol, to dye starch is not available in Portugal xD, shit! I never saw malaria under the microscope! 😱, I saw many parasites, I remember the last one was Toxocara canis in the heart of a dog!

Yeah, we may have PCR to detect stuff now, but most of the diagnosis are still performed by stain when it comes to malaria.
Parasites are uncommon in the States. I hardly see patients with them.
The downside to seeing something awesome under the scope is that the patient is probably not having a good time.
