MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry combined with machine learning algorithms to identify protein profiles related to malaria infection in human sera from Côte d'Ivoire.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: In sub-Saharan Africa, Plasmodium falciparum is the most prevalent species of malaria parasites. In endemic areas, malaria is mainly diagnosed using microscopy or rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), which have limited sensitivity, and microsco...

Deep learning image analysis for continuous single-cell imaging of dynamic processes in Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes.

Communications biology
Continuous high-resolution imaging of the disease-mediating blood stages of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum faces challenges due to photosensitivity, small parasite size, and the anisotropy and large refractive index of host erythroc...

Deep learning-based malaria parasite detection: convolutional neural networks model for accurate species identification of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax.

Scientific reports
Accurate malaria diagnosis with precise identification of Plasmodium species is crucial for an effective treatment. While microscopy is still the gold standard in malaria diagnosis, it relies heavily on trained personnel. Artificial intelligence (AI)...

Generalized fractional optimization-based explainable lightweight CNN model for malaria disease classification.

Computers in biology and medicine
Over the past few decades, machine learning and deep learning (DL) have incredibly influenced a broader range of scientific disciplines. DL-based strategies have displayed superior performance in image processing compared to conventional standard met...

Diagnosis of infections using artificial intelligence techniques versus standard microscopy in a reference laboratory.

Journal of clinical microbiology
Diagnosing malaria using standard techniques is time-consuming. With limited staffing in many laboratories, this may lead to delays in reporting. Innovative technologies are changing the diagnostic landscape and may help alleviate staffing shortages....

Machine learning prediction of malaria vaccine efficacy based on antibody profiles.

PLoS computational biology
Immunization through repeated direct venous inoculation of Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoites (PfSPZ) under chloroquine chemoprophylaxis, using the PfSPZ Chemoprophylaxis Vaccine (PfSPZ-CVac), induces high-level protection against controlled huma...

Reagent-free detection of Plasmodium falciparum malaria infections in field-collected mosquitoes using mid-infrared spectroscopy and machine learning.

Scientific reports
Field-derived metrics are critical for effective control of malaria, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where the disease kills over half a million people yearly. One key metric is entomological inoculation rate, a direct measure of transmission inte...

Antimalarial Drug Combination Predictions Using the Machine Learning Synergy Predictor (MLSyPred©) tool.

Acta parasitologica
PURPOSE: Antimalarial drug resistance is a global public health problem that leads to treatment failure. Synergistic drug combinations can improve treatment outcomes and delay the development of drug resistance. Here, we describe the implementation o...

Deep learning hybrid model for analyzing and predicting the impact of imported malaria cases from Africa on the rise of Plasmodium falciparum in China before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum cases are rising in China due to the imported malaria cases from African countries. The main goal of this study is to examine the impact of imported malaria cases in African countries on the rise of P. falciparum cas...

MalariaSED: a deep learning framework to decipher the regulatory contributions of noncoding variants in malaria parasites.

Genome biology
Malaria remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases. Transcriptional regulation effects of noncoding variants in this unusual genome of malaria parasites remain elusive. We developed a sequence-based, ab initio deep learning framework, MalariaSE...
