title: [Hemozoin detection in malaria diagnosis].
abstract: In malaria parasites, hemozion is often called malaria pigment. Plasmodium spp. digest hemoglobin and release high quantity of free heme, which is a non-protein component of hemoglobin. Until recent years, researchers have found that hemozoin has many effects on malaria parasites. This paper reviews the hemozoin detection apllied in malaria diagnosis.
