A DESCRIPTION OF A STUDY THAT COMPARED THE RESULTS OF IDENTIFYING TWO SPECIES OF MALARIA IN INFECTED HUMANS BY TWO DIFFERENT MEANS. ONE MEANS WAS THE INDIRECT FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY (IFA) TEST. THE OTHER MEANS WAS BY MICROSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS OF BLOOD FILMS. THE TWO METHODS WERE APPLIED TO THREE GROUPS OF HUMANS INFECTED BY MALARIA. ONE GROUP CONSISTED OF 120 PERSONS INFECTED WITH PLASMODIUM VIVAX. THE SECOND GROUP CONSISTED OF 79 SERVICEMEN WHO HAD ATTACKS OF VIVAX OR FALCIPARUM MALARIA AFTER RETURNING FROM VIETNAM. THE IFA TEST CORRECTLY IDENTIFIED THE PARASITE SPECIES IN 76.7% OF THE 159 PERSONS IN THE FIRST TWO GROUPS. THE BASIS FOR SPECIES IDENTIFICATION WAS A FOURFOLD OR GREATER DIFFERENCE IN TITERS. IN APPLICATION OF THE IFA TEST TO THE GROUP OF 79 SERVICEMEN, CORRECT IDENTIFICATION OF MALARIA SPECIES WAS OBTAINED IN 81% OF THE CASES WHEN THE TEST WAS MADE 0 TO 14 DAYS AFTER THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMS, AND IN 96.2% OF THE CASES WHEN THE TEST WAS MADE FROM 15 TO 60 DAYS AFTER THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMS. THE IFA TEST WAS UNRELIABLE FOR DETERMINING SPECIES WHEN TESTS WERE MADE OF SERUM SAMPLES TAKEN SIX MONTHS AFTER THE ONSET OF SYMPTOMS.

No district, region or facility is named in this program's documents yet. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far. Towns and natural features are not drawn.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
No operating country recorded. Scope is set from the countries the documents name most often, and none passed the rule.
Scope: unknown. How the scope was set is not described yet. Low confidence.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
