Background: Malaria is a prevalent, fatal illness in endemic places that poses a diagnostic challenge to laboratories in the majority of endemic countries. A prompt and precise diagnosis is a need for successful therapy, particularly in cases of potentially deadly P.falciparum infection. Though for many years regarded the gold standard for diagnosing malaria, microscopic blood analysis is highly labor-intensive and requires sufficient technological know-how and personnel. Due to this, rapid detection tests for malaria (RDT) based on the detection of malarial antigen in whole blood have been developed.
