Malaria misdiagnosis among febrile patients in Senegal: implications for the underestimation of Plasmodium species diversity and malaria burden

Malaria Journal
Background Malaria remains a leading cause of febrile illness in Senegal, disproportionately affecting young populations. Test-and-treat remains a key strategy for malaria control but relies on accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Phenotypic and Genotypic Analysis of Two Rare Cases of ‐‐SEA/‐α4.3 HbH Disease

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We report two unrelated adult patients with rare deletional HbH disease (genotype ‐‐SEA/‐α4.3). This novel 4.3 kb deletion covering the HBA1 gene is accompanied by X‐Y‐Z segment recombination, which was identified by CycloneSEQ long‐read nanopore sequencing.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of rapid diagnostic test, microscopy and syndromic approach in the diagnosis of malaria in Nigeria: implications for scaling-up deployment of ACT. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis and treatment of malaria is often based on syndromic presentation (presumptive treatment) and microscopic examination of blood films.

Field validation of a magneto-optical detection device (Gazelle) for portable point-of-care Plasmodium vivax diagnosis.

PLoS ONE, 2021
A major challenge for malaria is the lack of tools for accurate and timely diagnosis in the field which are critical for case management and surveillance. Microscopy along with rapid diagnostic tests are the current mainstay for malaria diagnosis in most

Lack of fitness cost associated to CYP9K1‐mediated insecticide resistance in Anopheles funestus, represents a threat to vector control

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The 454A‐CYP9K1‐mediated resistance confers fitness advantages regarding pupation and longevity in Anopheles funestus, resulting to a slow susceptibility reversion. By contrast, the 119F‐GSTe2 resistance allele rapidly declines. Abstract BACKGROUND Resistance management is critical to maintain insecticide effectiveness in malaria control, and ...

A comparison of thick smears, QBC Malaria, PCR and PATH Falciparum Malaria® Test Trip inPlasmodium falciparumdiagnosis [PDF]

Parasite, 1999
Blood samples from 182 patients presenting at the out-patient clinic in Richard-Toll. Senegal were analysed by Thick smear microscopy, the QBC, PCR and the new dipstick PATH Malaria assay which detects the histidine rich protein II antigen of Plasmodium falciparum. Thick smear microscopy was used as the reference method.

Accuracy of rapid tests for malaria and treatment outcomes for malaria and non-malaria cases among under-five children in rural Ghana. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: WHO now recommends test-based management of malaria across all transmission settings. The accuracy of rapid diagnostic test (RDT) and the outcome of treatment based on the result of tests will influence acceptability of and adherence to the ...
