Since 2010, a biological drama has been playing out in the bloodstreams of humans from Peru to Ethiopia. Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes the most common form of malaria, has managed to ...

Amplino may be the ultimate garage project. Three DIY bio-hackers have created a mobile malaria testing kit they claim can identify different strains of malaria with higher accuracy, and at lower ...

Over the last couple of decades, rapid diagnostic tests have emerged as a vital tool in the fight to control malaria. The relatively inexpensive test strips, which work in just minutes, have diagnosed ...

A novel testing platform under development by researchers at the Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) and CytoAstra, LLC could provide a new noninvasive test for malaria that doesn't require a blood ...

Rapid tests, which are easy to deploy and require minimal equipment, provide an important diagnostic tool in the ongoing effort against malaria, which affects more than 250 million people around the ...

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria have transformed the approach to febrile illness by enabling prompt, point-of-care detection of Plasmodium antigens without the need for microscopy. These ...

A multi-disciplinary research collaboration created a field-applicable, ultrasensitive diagnostic assay that specifically detects DNA sequences from all Plasmodium species in symptomatic and ...

New Haven, Conn. — Almost half of the world’s population is at risk of malaria infection, with children and pregnant women at the highest risk of getting sick and dying from the disease. Current ...

Scientists report a new way to test vaccines that may be as rigorous and stringent as exposure to field strains of malaria. Malaria is the deadliest mosquito-borne parasitic infection of humans. In ...

Testing for malaria could become as simple as putting on a bandage. That's the idea behind a platform developed by Rice University engineers who introduced a microneedle patch for rapid diagnostic ...

A surge in malaria cases in Zimbabwe is exposing fragile health systems and growing treatment shortages in rural areas.

To achieve the goal of eradicating malaria set by the World Health Organization (WHO)'s Global Malaria Control Programme, it is critical that all local transmission of malaria parasites in defined ...
