Malaria is a widespread disease caused by a protozoan that invades human red blood cells. It affects over half of the world's population and causes an estimated 300-500 million cases and over 1 million deaths each year. Most victims are infants and young children. Microscopic analysis of thick and thin blood smears has traditionally been the gold standard for malaria diagnosis, but this technique requires skilled microscopists and defined protocols for accurate diagnoses. The Malaria P.f./P.v./Pan Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a diagnostic tool that can rapidly detect P. falciparum-specific HRP-II and four circulating plasmodium species (P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae) in whole blood via colloid gold conjugate.
