Alexis P Chidi, Sandra Chishimba, Tamaki Kobayashi, Harry Hamapumbu, Sungano Mharakurwa, Philip E Thuma, William J Moss Malaria Journal 2011, 10:162 (10 June 2011) Oral fluid is a valid alternative specimen for monitoring changes in antibodies to P. falciparum. The collection of crevicular fluid is often more acceptable to communities, poses less of a biohazard than blood samples and can be performed by community volunteers.
