Highly sensitive and low-cost and rapid malaria diagnosis is crucial for renewed efforts to eliminate the disease. We have developed a magneto-optic technique that can diagnose the presence of malaria parasites in blood samples within minutes, with a sensitivity approaching that of high-tech molecular methods that are not applicable at point of care. Here we propose to take this method from the laboratory to clinical settings in malaria endemic countries to directly evaluate its performance.

高度敏感、低成本和快速的疟疾诊断对于重新努力消除这一疾病至关重要。我们开发了一种磁光技术，可以在几分钟内诊断血液样本中是否存在疟疾寄生虫，其灵敏度接近不适用于护理点的高科技分子方法。在这里，我们建议将这种方法从实验室带到疟疾流行国家的临床环境中，以直接评估其性能。
