Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Malaria remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, responsible for approximately 5,97,000 deaths according to World Malaria Report 2024. The study aims to systematically review current methodologies for automated analysis of the Plasmodium genus in malaria diagnostics. Specifically, it focuses on computer-assisted methods, examining databases, blood smear types, staining techniques, and diagnostic models used for malaria characterization while identifying the limitations and contributions of recent studies.
