This is really important. I caught Malaria in Ghana, but the symptoms did not develop until I was in the UK. The hospital wanted to identify the type of Malaria I had before treating me, which I think was a mistake. In Ghana they take a blood sample and then immediately start treatment. The treatment can always be altered if the strand is different from the best course of action.

But the issue was they had a hard time identifying the type because I did not have one type of Malaria but two. In a hospital in the temperate world they do not have the cases to gather the skills to be able to quickly identify the strand.
