Abstract

Plasmodium parasites, which are responsible for the life-threatening disease known as malaria, are transmitted through infected mosquitoes on a global scale. Malaria continues to be a significant public health concern in many locations across the world. The diagnosis of malaria infection in its early stages and with high accuracy is essential for the timely treatment and management of the disease. The automated malaria detection method may be included into portable diagnostic instruments, which enables medical personnel to conduct malaria tests that are both quick and accurate even in settings that are resource-constrained or located in distant areas.
