Detection of malaria parasites in dried human blood spots using mid-infrared spectroscopy and logistic regression analysis
Abstract Background Epidemiological surveys of malaria currently rely on microscopy, polymerase chain reaction assays (PCR) or rapid diagnostic test kits for Plasmodium infections (RDTs). This study investigated whether mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy coupled with supervised machine learning could c...
