Are There Advanced Techniques for Identifying Schizonts?
Yes, advanced techniques such as PCR and flow cytometry can be used to identify schizonts. PCR allows for the detection of Plasmodium DNA and can identify parasitemia even at very low levels. Flow cytometry can quantify the number of infected cells and differentiate between various stages of the parasite. However, these techniques require specialized equipment and expertise, making them less accessible in resource-limited settings.
