Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most prevalent infections in both men and women. The most common causative organisms are Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., and Staphylococcus spp. UTIs are diagnosed using various diagnostic methods with urine culture as the gold …

BACKGROUND: Helminthiasis co-exists with malaria in endemic areas; this co-existence can influence anaemia, iron, and folate levels in patients. This study was aimed at assessing the effect of malaria, helminthiasis, and co-infection on anaemia, iron, and folate deficiencies in children. METHODS: The …

Abstract Background Accurate malaria diagnosis is key for patient management, surveillance, and control. Automated microscopy can overcome variation observed among microscopists and is a promising new tool for diagnosis. The Noul miLab integrates smear preparation, staining, imaging, and AI-supported parasite detection in …

We report a proof-of-concept surveillance strategy that combines simplicity with modest cost to achieve high analytical performance for the detection of asymptomatic malaria infection. We developed a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) that automates immunoassay using 30 μL of whole blood. A …

BACKGROUND: Many national malaria elimination programmes (NMEP) are intensifying campaigns for malaria control and elimination. However, these efforts are constrained by the high prevalence of subclinical infections which may sustain local disease transmission. Detection and treatment of these subclinical and low-density infection …

BACKGROUND: Malaria has been described as a disease of poverty, affecting the poorest populations typically living in rural areas. As hitherto rural areas transition into semi-urban environments, this study investigated the prevalence of falciparum malaria and associated risk factors in two rapidly …

Sensitive and accurate malaria diagnosis is required for case management to accelerate control efforts. Diagnosis is particularly challenging where multiple Plasmodium species are endemic, and where P. falciparum hrp2/3 deletions are frequent. The Noul miLab is a fully automated portable digital microscope …

Background Malaria remains a major public health concern, especially in the tropics and subtropics where disproportionately high disease burden occurs annually. The World Health Organization recommends parasitological confirmation of suspected malaria cases by either Giemsa stained microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) …

BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends parasitological confirmation of all suspected malaria cases by microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) before treatment. These conventional tools are widely used for point-of-care diagnosis in spite of their poor sensitivity at low parasite density. Previous …
