This course, 'The Microscopic Diagnosis of Malaria', is based on a training course previously developed by Earl Long (CDC). This redesigned course, for use by an instructor in a classroom setting or for self-instruction, was put together by the Training Services Division of the Office of Workforce and Career Development of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with input from a number of subject matter experts, partners, and collaborators (see acknowledgement page).
