Self-diagnosis of malaria by travelers and expatriates: assessment of malaria rapid diagnostic tests available on the internet Institute of Tropical Medicine
Evaluation of the rapid diagnostic test CareStart pLDH Malaria (Pf-pLDH/pan-pLDH) for the diagnosis of malaria in a reference setting Institute of Tropical Medicine
Passive case detection of malaria in Ratanakiri Province (Cambodia) to detect villages at higher risk for malaria Institute of Tropical Medicine University of Antwerp
Background: Cambodia reduced malaria incidence by more than 75% between 2000 and 2015, a target of the Millennium Development Goal 6. The Cambodian Government aims to eliminate all forms of malaria by 2025. The country's malaria incidence is highly variable at provincial level, but less is known at village level. This study used passive case detection (PCD) data at village level in Ratanakiri Province from 2010 to 2014 to describe incidence ...
Accuracy of a rapid diagnostic test on the diagnosis of malaria infection and of malaria - attributable fever during low and high transmission season in Burkina Faso Institute of Tropical Medicine
Field evaluation of SD Bioline Malaria Antigen P.f® for Plasmodium falciparum malaria diagnosis in Nanoro, Burkina Faso Institute of Tropical Medicine
Accuracy of PfHRP2 versus Pf-pLDH antigen detection by malaria rapid diagnostic tests in hospitalized children in a seasonal hyperendemic malaria transmission area in Burkina Faso Institute of Tropical Medicine KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: In most sub-Saharan African countries malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are now used for the diagnosis of malaria. Most RDTs used detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein-2 (PfHRP2), though P. falciparum-specific parasite lactate dehydrogenase (Pf-pLDH)-detecting RDTs may have advantages over PfHRP2-detecting RDTs. Only few data are available on the use of RDTs in severe illness and the present study compared ...
Evaluation of the performance of CareStart Malaria Pf/Pv Combo rapid diagnostic test for the diagnosis of malaria in Jimma, southwestern Ethiopia University of Antwerp
Performance of PfHRP2-RDT for malaria diagnosis during the first year of life in a high malaria transmission area in Burkina Faso Institute of Tropical Medicine
In this study, we evaluated the performance of a P. falciparum Histidine Rich Protein 2 (PfHRP2)-based rapid diagnostic test (RDT) used for malaria case detection (SD-Bioline malaria RDT P.f®) along with light microscopy (LM) against qPCR among children during the first year of life in a high and seasonal malaria transmission area in Burkina Faso. A total of 723 suspected malaria cases (including multiple episodes) that occurred among 414 ...
