Abstract

Malaria control measures have been in use for years but have not completely curbed the spread of infection. Ultimately, global elimination is the goal. A major playmaker in the various approaches to reaching the goal is the issue of proper diagnosis. Various diagnostic techniques were adopted in different regions and geographical locations over the decades, and these have invariably produced diverse outcomes. In this review, we looked at the various approaches used in malaria diagnostics with a focus on methods favorably used during pre-elimination and elimination phases as well as in endemic regions. Microscopy, rapid diagnostic testing (RDT), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are common methods applied depending on prevailing factors, each with its strengths and limitations. As the drive toward the elimination goal intensifies, the search for ideal, simple, fast, and reliable point-of-care diagnostic tools is needed more than ever before to be used in conjunction with a functional surveillance system supported by the ideal vaccine.

According to a recent review, thick blood smear sensitivity is low and dependent on variables such as the microscopist's experience, the quality of the slides, and the reagents.
“According to a recent review, although TBS has been the standard for diagnosis globally, its sensitivity is low and is dependent on variables such as the microscopist’s experience, the quality of the slides, and the reagents.”

The thick blood smear is useful for the programmatic phase of malaria control.
“Therefore, TBS is useful for the programmatic phase of malaria control”

The thick blood smear is not useful for the pre-elimination, elimination, and prevention of reintroduction phases.
“but not for the following three phases: pre-elimination (rates below 5%, high coverage of a good quality control program in the clinical laboratories and medical services, and enhanced case reporting and surveillance), elimination (absence of cases), and prevention of reintroduction [32].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
