Background: Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) remain a cornerstone of malaria control, but optimal distribution strategies to sustain universal coverage are not well-defined
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional ...
Comparison of Capillary Versus Venous Blood for the Diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Using Rapid Diagnostic Tests
(The Journal of infectious diseases, 2021)
We enrolled 250 febrile children in western Uganda to compare the results of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) when using capillary vs venous blood. Participants were tested with 4 different RDT types. Polymerase chain ...
