Introduction: Biomarkers are objective indications of a medical state that can be measured
accurately and reproducibly. Traditional biomarkers enable diagnosis of disease through …

Malaria infections occurring below the limit of detection of standard diagnostics are common
in all endemic settings. However, key questions remain surrounding their contribution to …

Sensitive field-deployable diagnostic tests can assist malaria programs in achieving
elimination. The performance of a new Alere™ Malaria Ag Pf Ultra Sensitive rapid diagnostic …

Abstract Background. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) account for more than two-thirds of
malaria diagnoses in Africa. Deletions of the Plasmodium falciparum hrp2 (pfhrp2) gene …

The High Burden High Impact (HBHI) strategy for malaria encourages countries to use
multiple sources of available data to define the sub-national vulnerabilities to malaria risk …

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have transformed malaria diagnosis. The most prevalent P.
falciparum RDTs detect histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). However, pfhrp2 gene deletions …

Background As malaria endemic countries shift from control to elimination, the proportion of
low density Plasmodium falciparum infections increases. Current field diagnostic tools, such …

Background Malaria continues to be a major burden in the endemic regions of Kenya.
Health outcomes associated with case management are dependent on the use of …

Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have greatly improved access to
diagnosis in endemic countries. Most RDTs detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich …
