Evaluation of the Clearview® malaria pLDH malaria rapid diagnostic test in a non-endemic setting Sandrine Houzé, Véronique Hubert, Dorit Cohen, Baruch Rivetz, Jacques Le Bras Malaria Journal 2011, 10:284 (27 September 2011) Paper describing a pLDH-based test which has appears to be superior to previous pLDH RDTs. The very high sensitivity for both P. falciparum and P. vivax is particularly encouraging.

External quality assessment on the use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests in a non-endemic setting Philippe Gillet, Pierre Mukadi, Kris Vernelen, Marjan Van Esbroeck, Jean-Jacques Muyembe, Cathrien Bruggeman, Jan Jacobs Malaria Journal 2010, 9:359 (13 December 2010) A study reporting on the results of an external quality assessment session on RDTs in a non-endemic setting.
A total of 128/133 (96.2%) of clinical laboratories using RDTs participated. Six three-band and one four-band RDT brands were used. Errors in RDT performance were mainly related to RDT test line interpretations, partly due to incorrect package insert instructions.
