The detection of malaria parasite (plasmodium falciparum) is investigated by using a novel photoacoustics (PA) excited surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor. The SAW sensor is designed to resonant around 10 MHz and is fabricated by using standard two-step photolithography. The photoacoustic PA-SAW sens...
