Photonic Crystals for Malaria Detection

Highlights

  • Malaria is a very devastating disease that still affects millions of people and kills more than a million people a year

  • Healthy red blood cells have a homogeneous distribution in refractive index, while infected red blood cells show non-homogeneous refractive index throughout the cytoplasm of the cell

  • The red blood cells refractive index and morphology can be used as important parameters for disease diagnosis such as malaria and anemia [1]
