Real-time Malaria Detection in the Amazon Rainforest via Drone-Collected eDNA and Portable qPCR

2025-06-16

Abstract excerpt

Emerging zoonotic parasites such as Plasmodium spp. in remote ecosystems demand rapid, field-deployable surveillance. We developed a drone-based environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling approach integrated with a portable quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for in situ detection of Plasmodium DNA. Field trials confirmed malaria parasite DNA in canopy swabs, coinciding spatially with acoustic detection of howler monkeys ( Al...
