DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-28534-3
Abstract: Molecular techniques are not routinely employed for malaria surveillance, while cross-sectional, community-based parasite surveys require significant resources. Here, we describe a novel use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) collected at a single facility as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6463/ac19e3
Abstract: The single-beam miniaturized atomic magnetometer with modulated magnetic field is one of the most capable approaches to biomagnetic measurements. The transmission intensity of the pumping beam is critical to the sensitivity of the magnetometer, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12936-017-1745-8
Abstract: BackgroundMalaria control interventions have led to a decline in transmission intensity in many endemic areas, and resulted in elimination in some areas. This decline, however, will lead to delayed acquisition of protective immunity and thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0249936
Abstract: Detection of antibody reactivity to appropriate, specific parasite antigens may constitute a sensitive and cost-effective alternative to current tools to monitor malaria transmission across different endemicity settings. This study aimed to determine the suitability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.950909
Abstract: A more sensitive surveillance tool is needed to identify Plasmodium vivax infections for treatment and to accelerate malaria elimination efforts. To address this challenge, our laboratory has developed an eight-antigen panel that detects total IgG… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/tropicalmed8020116
Abstract: In recent decades, the global incidence of dengue has risen sharply, with more than 75% of infected people showing mild or no symptoms. Since the year 2000, dengue in China has spread quickly. At this… read more here.
