It sounds like a schizophrenic delusion, but it's true - equipment, created on the basis of thermal homing sensor used in anti-tank missiles that can detect malaria in the early stages of its development, which significantly increases the chances of a successful recovery of the patient.

Align the so-called lattice focal plane (one of the main elements of the sensor) with an infrared microscope, researchers from Monash University and the University of Melbourne could see malaria parasites actually in the "infancy" of age, within four minutes of their introduction into the red blood cells, and long before the appearance of man outward signs of infection.
