"There is an urgent need for a new diagnostic technique for malaria, particularly in the light of global warming, which threatens to spread the disease into new parts of the world, including southern Europe. The early results from our device are very promising and hugely exciting. We expect to ultimately produce a sensitive non-invasive device that will be cost effective and easy to use, making it suitable for developing countries, where the need is greatest," said Professor Dave Newman of the University of Exeter's School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics.
The results of the study are published in the Biophysical Journal.
