PATH-led study found commercially available reference diagnostic detected malaria with whole blood sample

On Apr. 1, 2020, new evidence in The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene suggested that the commercially available Q-Plexル Human Malaria Array (5-Plex) can be used effectively with whole blood samples to detect malaria. The 5-Plex can differentiate between Plasmodium falciparum infections, including those with hrp2/3 deletions, and P. vivax infections and detects all human malaria infections, including P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. knowlesi. This is the first and only commercially available tool with such capability.
