same period, then increased by 41% in 2013. Conclusion: This study shows that malaria diagnostic tests dramatically improved malaria diagnosis and consequently reduced the malaria burden in Botswana
University of Dar es Salaam · Tanzania · Malaria Research and Control
Asymptomatic participants aged ≥6 months were recruited and tested with rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) to detect malaria parasites. Demographic, anthropometric, clinical, parasitological, housing type, and socio-economic status
University of Douala · Cameroon · Malaria Research and Control
bulk of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) target histidine-rich protein 2 of Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria species. The WHO considers pfhrp2/3 deletions
University of Tunis El Manar · Tunisia · SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research
Management of the COVID-19 pandemic relies on molecular diagnostic methods supported by serological tools. Herein, we developed S-RBD- and N- based ELISA assays useful for infection

BACKGROUND: Congenital malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Nigeria, particularly in regions
University of Port Harcourt · Nigeria · Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Febrile diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS pose significant diagnostic challenges in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). Misdiagnosis leads to delayed treatment, increased healthcare
Addis Ababa University · Ethiopia · Malaria Research and Control
The single-line, easy-to-interpret index malaria RDT outperforms conventional HRP2-only RDTs
Gondar University · Ethiopia · Malaria Research and Control
Background: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) targeting pf histidine-rich protein 2 ( Pfhrp 2) are widely used for diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum infections in resource-limited malaria endemic countries

Gregory University Uturu · Nigeria · Biomedical Text Mining and Ontologies
Malaria and Typhoid fever are prevalent diseases in tropical regions, exacerbated by unclear protocols, drug resistance, and environmental factors. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial to improve accessibility
