DOI: 10.1002/advs.202105396
Abstract: In many malaria‐endemic regions, current detection tools are inadequate in diagnostic accuracy and accessibility. To meet the need for direct, phenotypic, and automated malaria parasite detection in field settings, a portable platform to process, image,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00852-21
Abstract: Drug selection pressure in malaria patients is the cause of the emergence of resistant parasites. Resistance imposes a fitness cost for parasites in untreated infections, so withdrawal of the drug leads to the return of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-022-04153-2
Abstract: Background Loss of efficacy of diagnostic tests may lead to untreated or mistreated malaria cases, compromising case management and control. There is an increasing reliance on rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria diagnosis, with the… read more here.
