Abstract:Every year, more than one million individuals die from malaria, an infection spread by mosquitoes infected by haemoparasites with only one cell of the Plasmodium class. In this work, a photonic crystal fibre (PCF)-based refractive index (RI) biosensor for the early detection of malaria in individuals, using red blood cell (RBC) variation monitoring, is presented. The proposed PCF includes three layers of hexagonal lattices of elliptical air holes and also contains a small vertical elliptical channel in which t… Show more
