Article Synopsis
- Babesia is often misdiagnosed as malaria due to similarities in appearance, which can lead to improper treatment in areas where both diseases are present.
- Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) allows researchers to create detailed 3D images of these parasites at the single-cell level, helping to better understand their differences and impacts on host cells.
- The study found significant morphological and biochemical differences between P. falciparum and B. microti, indicating that P. falciparum has a more pronounced effect on red blood cells, suggesting that accurate differentiation could improve clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies.
