Technologies for the point-of-care diagnosis of malaria: a scoping review.

Infectious diseases of poverty
BACKGROUND: Malaria continues to pose a significant health challenge, particularly in low-resource settings (LRS), where access to reliable and timely diagnostics is often limited. In this context, point-of-care (POC) in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) play...

Application of ConvNeXt with transfer learning and data augmentation for malaria parasite detection in resource-limited settings using microscopic images.

PloS one
Malaria continues to be a severe health problem across the globe, especially within resource-limited areas which lack both skilled diagnostic personnel and diagnostic equipment. This study investigates the use of deep learning diagnosis for malaria t...

Spatiotemporal patterns and climate-induced macroeconomic burden of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: The global malaria burden is characterized by economic, geographical, and climatic disparities, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Moreover, meteorological factors have become increasingly important to understand the malaria burden i...

Computer Viewing Model for Classification of Erythrocytes Infected with spp. Applied to Malaria Diagnosis Using Optical Microscope.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Malaria is a disease that can result in a variety of complications. Diagnosis is carried out by an optical microscope and depends on operator experience. The use of artificial intelligence to identify morphological patterns in erythrocytes would imp...

Forecasting malaria cases using climate variability in Sierra Leone.

Malaria journal
BACKGROUND: Malaria continues to pose a public health challenge in Sierra Leone, where timely and accurate forecasting can guide more effective interventions. Although seasonal models such as Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA)...

Explainable AI for enhanced accuracy in malaria diagnosis using ensemble machine learning models.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Malaria, an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites belonging to the Plasmodium genus, remains a significant public health challenge, with African regions bearing the heaviest burden. Machine learning techniques have shown great ...

Deep learning method for malaria parasite evaluation from microscopic blood smear.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
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 o...

Discrimination of inherent characteristics of susceptible and resistant strains of Anopheles gambiae by explainable artificial intelligence analysis of flight trajectories.

Scientific reports
Understanding mosquito behaviours is vital for the development of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), which have been successfully deployed in sub-Saharan Africa to reduce disease transmission, particularly malaria. However, rising insecticide resistanc...

Improving Malaria diagnosis through interpretable customized CNNs architectures.

Scientific reports
Malaria, which is spread via female Anopheles mosquitoes and is brought on by the Plasmodium parasite, persists as a serious illness, especially in areas with a high mosquito density. Traditional detection techniques, like examining blood samples wit...

A deep architecture based on attention mechanisms for effective end-to-end detection of early and mature malaria parasites in a realistic scenario.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a critical and potentially fatal disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite and is responsible for more than 600,000 deaths globally. Early and accurate detection of malaria parasites is crucial for effective treatment, yet conv...
