A field trial of the ParaSight®-F test for the diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum infection

The rapid manual ParaSight®-F test for Plasmodium falciparum is an antigen capture test detecting trophozoite-derived histidine rich protein II, is simple and provides a definitive diagnosis within 10 min. Compared with 913 thick blood film examinations, the ParaSight®-F test had 93.4% sensitivity a...
