Sensitive detection of Plasmodium vivax malaria by the rotating-crystal magneto-optical method in Thailand

Abstract The rotating-crystal magneto-optical detection (RMOD) method has been developed for the rapid and quantitative diagnosis of malaria and tested systematically on various malaria infection models. Very recently, an extended field trial in a high-transmission region of Papua New Guinea demonst...
