An automated method for determining the cytoadhesion of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes to immobilized cells

BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum exports antigens to the surface of infected erythrocytes causing cytoadhesion to the host vasculature. This is central in malaria pathogenesis but in vitro studies of cytoadhesion rely mainly on manual counting methods. The current study aimed at developing an autom...
