Ex Vivo Maturation Assay for Testing Antimalarial Sensitivity of Rodent Malaria Parasites [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2016 ABSTRACT Ex vivo assay systems provide a powerful approach to studying human malaria parasite biology and to testing antimalarials. For rodent malaria parasites, short-term in vitro culture and ex vivo antimalarial susceptibility assays are relatively cumbersome, relying

Performance of an ultra-sensitive Plasmodium falciparum HRP2-based rapid diagnostic test with recombinant HRP2, culture parasites, and archived whole blood samples [PDF]
Malaria Journal, 2018 As malaria endemic countries shift from control to elimination, the proportion of low density Plasmodium falciparum infections increases. Current field diagnostic tools, such as microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests (RDT), with detection limits of approximately 100-200 parasites/µL (p/µL) and 800-1000 pg/mL histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2), respectively,
