  • Title: The indirect hemagglutination test for malaria. Evaluation of antigens prepared from Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax.
    Author: Mathews HM, Fried JA, Kagan IG.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 1975 May; 24(3):417-21. PubMed ID: 50747.
    Abstract:
    Soluble antigens were prepared from Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax and were evaluated in the indirect hemagglutination test. These antigens, attached to aldehyde-fixed type "O" erythrocytes, detected antibodies in more than 91% of infections with the homologous Plasmodium species. Detection rates in infections caused by the heterologous species ranged from 72% to 76%. Positive reactions occurred in less than 2% of sera from persons without malaria infection.
