    Author: Chunge CN, Ngige S, Bwibo CR, Mulega PC, Kilonzo JF, Kibati F, Owate J.
    Journal: Ann Trop Med Parasitol; 1989 Aug; 83(4):361-4. PubMed ID: 2481429.
    Abstract:
    A quick and suitable method for staining Leishmania donovani and other blood protozoa is described. The method, which could have wide applications, is a modification of Field's staining technique as used for malaria parasites. It uses the same stains in a different order. The method has been tried on smears containing malaria and trypanosomes, and the results were good. It is very cheap and requires no special apparatus or training.
