| Research Abstract |
Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites. There are approximately 500 million cases of malaria, killing over two million people each year. The most standard detection method ; Giemsa-stained blood smears to detect malaria parasite in erythrocytes is time-consuming and need to technical handling. Although the detection methods based on immunochromatography and PCR were developed, they also have some problems in sensitivity and rapidity. In this study, we have developed a novel cell microarray system to detect malaria-infected erythrocytes with the high-sensitivity(<0.0001%) in a short time.
