Hemozoin-catalyzed precipitation polymerization as an assay for malaria diagnosis
Methods to diagnose malaria are of interest but can be costly or not sensitive enough to detect low levels of parasitemia. Here the authors report an ultrasensitive method by using hemozoin (a biomarker of all Plasmodium species) to catalyse the polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide.
