Disclosed herein are methods of detecting
Plasmodium
in a subject (for example, presence of
Plasmodium
parasite) by detecting the presence and/or amount of one or more metabolites in a sample from the subject. In some embodiments, the methods include detecting in the sample one or more metabolites listed in Table 1, Table 2, and/or Tables 5-8. The amount of the one or more metabolites in the sample is compared to the amount of the one or more metabolites in a control and presence of
Plasmodium
is determined if the amount of the one or more metabolites is different (for example statistically significantly increased or decreased) compared to the control.
