1 Normal triglyceride levels in the blood are less than 150mg per deciliter (mg/dL). 2  Borderline levels are between 150-200 mg/dL. 3  High levels of triglycerides (greater than 200 mg/dl) are associated with a increased risk of atherosclerosis and therefore coronary artery disease and stroke.riglyceride and cholesterol levels are measured in the blood to provide a method of screening for this risk. 1  Normal triglyceride levels in the blood are less than 150mg per deciliter (mg/dL).
There are four species of malaria parasite that commonly infect humans. These are: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae. In addition, a fifth species, P. knowlesi, is starting to draw public health attention as an infection in humans in south-east Asia, and particularly Borneo â previously, it was thought to only infect macaque monkeys.
1 Five species cause human malaria: P. vivax (producing the most widespread form), P. ovale (relatively uncommon), P. falciparum (producing the most severe symptoms), P. malariae, and P. knowlesi. 2  Plasmodium species exhibit three life-cycle stagesâgametocytes, sporozoites, and merozoites.
