According to WHO’s malaria report, more than 600,000 people died from malaria in 2020 worldwide . Many asymptomatic people can act as a reservoir for malaria transmission. This accounts for the biggest challenge in eliminating disease. This is why scientists have now developed an advanced tool for malaria detection. This gadget flashes a beam of safe infrared light on a person's finger or ear for five to ten seconds.
This enables the gathering of infrared signatures that are then analyzed by a computer algorithm. Besides that, the technique neither requires any chemicals nor uses needles. This technology has the potential to completely change the combating strategies of malaria globally as a huge population can be detected rapidly whether they are suffering from malaria or are carriers of malaria. ## Reference ## 1.…
