Pregnant women with mild-moderate, slide proven, falciparum malaria will be recruited from the Antenatal wing (ANC) of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clinic at Muheza (Teule) Hospital. Pregnant women from Muheza Township and surrounding villages attend this clinic. Nurses attending the clinic will interview all febrile women and women with a recent (past 24 hours) history of fever and those with a probable diagnosis of malaria will be referred to the study team. Those with signs/symptoms of mild-moderate anaemia will also be referred. All referrals will be re-interviewed and examined by the Medical Officer of the study team to exclude concomitant infection(s). Duplicate thick and thin blood smears will be made, Giemsa stained at pH 7.2, and examined microscopically. The consent form will be administered to those meeting the inclusion criteria and they will be enrolled upon consenting.
