摘      要：Background:Malaria remains a significant health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa,with early diagnosis critical to reducing its morbidity and *** the increasing Plasmodium *** capabilities,access to testing is limited in some cases by the almost absolute requirement for blood from potentially infected subjects as the only sample source for all conventional methods.A rapid test on non-invasive specimen with comparable performance to microscopy for the screening or diagnosis of all participants is *** study sought to compare conventional and non-invasive diagnostic tools for detecting Plasmodium falciparum.
