Malaria - caused by Plasmodium sp. and spread to humans by species of tropical mosquitoes (Anopheles sp.) - is endemic in 107 countries with 3.2 billion people and therefore one of the most dangerous diseases worldwide. Despite the fact that Malaria is preventable and treatable, according to WHO 300-500 million people are infected by Malaria every year, with far more than 1 million death cases annually - including one child every 30 seconds. A safe, easy, and in particular rapid diagnostic test is of great importance for Malaria treatment. The traditional Giemsa procedure using stained blood ﬁlms takes several very time-consuming steps until the user may ﬁnd the result by examination of the slide on a standard microscope. New easy-to-use, accurate, and affordable diagnostics therefore play the key role for signiﬁcantly improved patient services in Malaria prevention and treatment.
The Partec Rapid Malaria Test & CyScope Malaria offer a uniquely easy and ultrarapid protocol for reliable Malaria diagnostics: By delivering ready-prepared and ready-to-use test slides which already carry the dried-in reagents safely on the slide surface (therefore long-term storage and shipment are signiﬁcantly supported), Malaria testing has become easier, faster, and more affordable than ever before.
