The major growth in point-of-care malaria diagnosis over the past decade has been based
on immunochromatographic malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs), which generally detect …

In the last decade, there has been an upsurge of interest in developing malaria rapid
diagnostic test (RDT) kits for the detection of Plasmodium species. Three antigens …

In Africa, most rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for falciparum malaria recognize histidine-rich
protein 2 antigen. Plasmodium falciparum parasites lacking histidine-rich protein 2 (pfhrp2) …

Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) offer significant potential to improve the
diagnosis of malaria, and are playing an increasing role in malaria case management …

False-negative results for Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein (HRP) 2–based
rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are increasing in Eritrea. We investigated HRP gene 2/3 …

This paper focuses on the technologies required to meet the global health diagnostics
needs presented in the previous papers, highlighting how new diagnostic technologies …

We identified 480 persons with positive thick smears for asexual Plasmodium falciparum
parasites, of whom 454 had positive rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for the histidine-rich …

To help mitigate the expanding global impact of malaria, with its associated increasing drug
resistance, implementation of prompt and accurate diagnosis is needed. Malaria is …

The replacement of conventional antimalarial drugs with high-cost, artemisinin-based
alternatives has created a gap in the successful management of malaria. This gap reflects …

Objective To compare rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria with routine microscopy in
guiding treatment decisions for febrile patients. Design Randomised trial. Setting Outpatient …
