Performance and Challenges of Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests in Endemic Regions of Africa

2025-07-31

Abstract excerpt

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have revolutionized malaria diagnosis, playing a crucial role in improving timely treatment and supporting surveillance efforts, especially in resource-limited settings. However, the performance of RDTs can vary widely due to factors such as parasite genetic diversity, environmental conditions, and operational challenges. Understanding these variations is essential to ensuring accurat...
