Abstract

Parasitic infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in tropical and subtropical regions. Accurate and rapid diagnosis is mandatory for effective clinical management. However, the diagnosis of parasitic diseases is defective, especially in developing countries. Researchers have developed new advanced parasitology diagnostics such as smartphones, digital PCR, internet-based bio-surveillance, DNA barcoding, and geometric morphometric analysis. They revealed better sensitivity and specificity, fewer human mistakes, and lower costs. The introduction of artificial intelligence will revolutionize diagnostics when used with these new approaches. Some limitations may be present in developing countries such as internet access and steady Wi-Fi coverage. Hence, combining conventional and advanced methods may decrease limitations and improve diagnosis.
