Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the tropics, with Plasmodium
falciparum responsible for the majority of the disease burden and P. vivax being the …

Plasmodium falciparum immature gametocytes are not observed in peripheral blood.
However, gametocyte stages in organs such as bone marrow have never been assessed by …

Plasmodium falciparum infections presenting either as symptomatic or asymptomatic may
contain sexual stage parasites (gametocytes) that are crucial to malaria transmission. In this …

Background Novel diagnostic tools, including PCR and high field gradient magnetic
fractionation (HFGMF), have improved detection of asexual Plasmodium falciparum …

Since 1977,> 2000 research papers described attempts to detect, identify and/or quantify
parasites, or disease organisms carried by ecto-parasites, using DNA-based tests and 148 …

Despite commendable progress in control of malaria in India and other countries, there are
hidden reservoirs of parasites in human hosts that continually feed malaria transmission …

Improved methods for malaria diagnosis are urgently needed. Here, we evaluate a novel
method named rotating-crystal magneto-optical detection (RMOD) in 956 suspected malaria …

Introduction Individuals exposed to malaria infections for a long time develop immune
responses capable of blocking Plasmodium transmission to mosquito vectors, potentially …

This study is motivated by the development of a blood cell filtration device for removal of
malaria-infected, parasitized red blood cells (pRBCs). The blood was modeled as a multi …

Gametocytes are sexual stage malaria parasites responsible for transmission to mosquitoes.
Multiple gametocyte-producing clones may be present in natural infections, but the …
