Malaria, caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, remains a major public health priority in tropical regions. The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for detecting anti-Plasmodium antibodies is an essential diagnostic tool. However, its sensitivity and specificity are closely dependent on the concentration of antigens used.

Introduction: Forensic investigations involving the discovery of a corpse or human remains aim to identify the individual involved. Sometimes, the body is subjected to chemical solutions with the intention of disintegrating or completely altering it. This further complicates identification. Nevertheless, it is possible to recover sufficient DN(...)
