Today (30th), the artificial intelligence diagnosis system for malaria parasites developed by researchers of the Academy of Military Medicine of the Academy of Military Sciences was officially launched in Beijing.
Academy of Sciences After an exclusive visit to a laboratory of the Military Medical Research Institute by CCTV reporter Su Zhou of the Central Station, he saw that the research personnel of the Military Medical Research Institute can quickly and easily identify the collected malaria parasites through the latest artificial intelligence diagnosis system developed during their assistance in Africa.
This artificial intelligence diagnosis system for malaria parasites consists of four parts: an image acquisition module, a cell detection module, a malaria classification module, and a malaria diagnosis module.
Teng Yue, an associate researcher of the Unknown Pathogen Analysis Laboratory of the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, introduced that the microscopic images of blood smears were taken through a smartphone, and then the obtained photos were input into our artificial intelligence detection system.
It is understood that in the development of human history, malaria is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases, and the climate and sanitary conditions in Africa have created conditions for the spread of malaria
Song Yajun, director of the Unknown Pathogen Analysis Office of the Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, said that although malaria has been successfully eradicated in our country, it still exists widely in the world, especially in Africa and other regions.

Malaria is caused by the continuous proliferation of Plasmodium in human red blood cells, and it is mainly transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes
In 1967, under the leadership of relevant national ministries and commissions, a large number of scientific researchers with the Military Medical Research Institute as the main force organized and carried out anti-malarial drug research across the country
According to the "World Malaria Report" officially released by WHO, as of now, the total number of malaria cases worldwide is about 229 million, and the annual death toll is about 409,000, of which 94% are concentrated in African regions and countries
