Plasmodium falciparum?
Sorry! Try again.
Don't be despondent, this is a particularly difficult slide and in our experience causes the most problems for the less experienced, when examining thick films.
Have another look and note especially the large "amoeboid" parasites to the centre of the field with prominent chromatin dots.

Plasmodium vivax?
Correct! Excellent work!
A first class effort. Thick films are never easy and in our experience developing forms of parasites cause the most problems as they are often mistaken for white cells. As you obviously noted, even though much larger than ring forms, these developing forms are still much smaller than the neutrophil towards the top of the field. Once again well done.

Plasmodium ovale?
Sorry! Take another look.
Don't be too disappointed, this is a particularly difficult slide and in our experience causes the most problems for the less experienced, when examining thick films.
