Classification for avian malaria parasite Plasmodium gallinaceum blood stages by using deep convolutional neural networks

Abstract The infection of an avian malaria parasite (Plasmodium gallinaceum) in domestic chickens presents a major threat to the poultry industry because it causes economic loss in both the quality and quantity of meat and egg production. Computer-aided diagnosis has been developed to automatically...
