REFERENCES; ANNEXESThe largest-ever independent laboratory-based evaluation of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for malaria has shown that some tests on the market perform exceptionally well in tropical temperatures and can detect even low parasite densities in blood samples while other tests were only able to detect the parasite at high parasite densities. This document reports on evaluations co-sponsored by the WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific (WPRO) WHO-based Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND).
