What am I looking at? This is a colored scanning electron microscopy image of a human red blood cell infected with the parasite that causes malaria. The infected cell is blue (1), and the uninfected ...

Electron microscope images of malaria parasites (blue) generated by Associate Professor Eric Hanssen, University of Melbourne, Australia, and chemical structure of artemisinin.

Prompt recognition and treatment of malaria infections (symptomatic and asymptomatic) are necessary to prevent maternal anemia and LBW. Microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are currently ...

An curved arrow pointing right. New technology that transforms a cell phone into a mobile polarized microscope can diagnose malaria in a Rwandan village with the same level of accuracy as a high ...

Furthermore, there are different types of malaria diagnostics available in the market, which include rapid diagnostic tests, microscopy, and molecular diagnostic tests. In addition, these tests are ...

A pocket-sized microscope that may prove useful for diagnosing diseases like malaria in the developing world has been developed by researchers at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Cost–effectiveness analyses should be performed in order to inform the national malaria control programs. The availability and accurate use of diagnostic methods needs to be improved to minimize ...

But in a military hospital in Algeria, French doctor Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran was taking a close look at a distinctive, granular pigment found in the spleens and other tissues of malaria victims ...

As the researchers explained in a meeting news release, the advent of artemisinin therapies two decades ago revolutionized malaria care. Plasmodium falciparum, the microscopic parasite that causes ...
