Simultaneous Qualitative and Quantitative Detection of Plasmodium Falciparum Lactate Dehydrogenase in Saliva of Malaria Patients for Monitoring Disease Prognosis Using Paper Microfluidics

To develop a diagnostic assay that will simultaneously detect and quantify p.falciparum in patients. It will be non-invasive, easily adaptable, hence improve patient compliance and management, leading to reduced mortality from unreliable lab results.
