Accurate malaria diagnosis is crucial for effective disease management as different Plasmodium species require specific treatment regimens. Current detection methods have limitations related to sensitivity and specificity. This is mainly due to employing similar targets such as 18S rRNA, Pf-ldh, Pf-hrp-2, and aldolase with significant homology to human counterparts.

Infection by retroviruses and the mobilization of transposable elements cause DNA damage that can be catastrophic for a cell. If the cell survives, the mutations generated by retrotransposition may confer a selective advantage, although, more commonly, the effect of new integrants is neutral or detrimental. If retrotransposition occurs in gametes or in the early embryo, it introduces genetic modifications that can be transmitted to the progeny and may become fixed in the germline of that species.

Based on the research findings, there is powerful evidence that EBV and MS have a strong relation where high levels of EBV DNA are able to be shown in all the spinal cord and the blood of the MS patients, but these are shown during disease relapses, and this implies a role in these illnesses. It kind of narrows the choices that you have to look for, just like how gathering evidence can lead to finding the missing person.
