The kit could facilitate the diagnosis of malaria in the field, as the equipment needed is anticipated to be lightweight, easy-to-use, and able to detect the disease in its early stages.

Malaria remains a major global health threat, with more than 250 million cases and 600,000 deaths in 2024 - over 90% of them in Africa.

Furthermore, the all-in-one malaria detection kits under development by ARICIS provide improved ease of use and no need for experienced operators or sophisticated technology and could be ...

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered how a parasite that causes malaria when transmitted through a mosquito bite can hide from the body’s immune system, sometimes for years. It turns ...

A more recent concern, however, is that parasites are becoming resistant to the methods used for malaria diagnosis. Current rapid diagnostic tests detect a specific parasite protein (HRP2) in the ...
