Molecular diagnostics and genetic markers for rapid identification of parasitic diseases in resource-limited settings.

Li Ziqiang*, Yolanda Eliza Putri Lubis, Irza Haicha Pratama

Parasitic diseases are a significant global health burden, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to advanced diagnostic tools and healthcare facilities is limited. Conventional diagnostic methods for parasitic diseases often lack sensitivity, specificity, and speed, leading to delayed diagnosis and inadequate patient management. Molecular diagnostics and genetic markers have emerged as promising approaches for rapid and accurate identification of parasitic infections in such settings. This research paper provides an overview of the current state of molecular diagnostics and the utilization of genetic markers for the detection and identification of parasitic diseases in resourcelimited regions. It highlights the potential benefits, challenges, and future prospects of implementing these advanced techniques to enhance parasitic disease diagnosis, surveillance, and control.
