BACKGROUND: Anopheles mosquitoes pose notable public health concerns as competent vectors of malaria and other diseases. Although malaria is no longer endemic in the United States, recent locally acquired cases in states including Maryland highlight ...
The rising incidence of malaria on a global scale poses a substantial public health concern, necessitating effective and innovative ways for tackling it. The review paper explores the capability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in aiding India's attem...
Plasmodium vivax is a malaria parasite with a broad geographic distribution worldwide. The unique biological characteristics of P. vivax, such as early gametocytogenesis and its latent hypnozoite stage, make it more difficult to control compared to P...
Accurate and early diagnosis of malaria from peripheral blood smear images remains a critical challenge in healthcare, particularly in resource-limited settings. In this work, we propose an optimized convolutional neural network (CNN) framework enhan...
BACKGROUND: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have improved malaria case management by enabling point-of-care confirmation of infection, particularly in low-resource settings. In addition to clinical use, RDT results recorded in health facility registers...
Malaria remains a critical global health challenge, requiring accurate and efficient diagnostic tools, particularly in developing countries with limited medical expertise. Detecting malaria parasites from red blood cell (RBC) blood smear images is ch...
Africa's vast genetic diversity poses challenges for optimising drug treatments in the continent, which is exacerbated by the fact that drug discovery and development efforts have historically been performed outside Africa. This has led to suboptimal...
BACKGROUND: The National Framework for Malaria Elimination, formulated in 2016, aims to eliminate malaria in India by 2030, focusing on the districts as the strategic units for planning and implementing intervention measures. In this study, the spati...
BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a major public health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where women of reproductive age are especially vulnerable during pregnancy and childbirth. To identify key predictors and improve predictive accuracy, ma...
BACKGROUND: The introduction of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) has expanded the parasitological confirmation of malaria at all levels of health systems in sub-Saharan Africa, improving case management and surveillance. However, concerns persis...
