Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to develop a next-generation diagnostic device for eradicating malaria by using an automatic malaria diagnostic device originally developed by the applicants for asymptomatic infected people in malaria endemic areas and comparing it with the current method. After improving the device, it became clear that the device could be used for diagnosis with high accuracy. Specifically, using the nested PCR method as a reference method, the sensitivity and specificity of this device were 100% and 92.8%, respectively. In addition, for 53 malarial parasite-positive specimens, the parasitemia value calculated by this device was compared with the value calculated by microscopy, revealing the high quantification of this device.
