Assessment of a diagnostic test highlights lower sensitivity in Plasmodium Falciparum detection, suggesting careful resource allocation for malaria elimination in Myanmar.
Although hsRDTs identified more infected contacts than cRDTs during reactive case detection, they have low overall sensitivity compared to usPCR. In resource-limited settings, such as Myanmar, the use of hsRDTs in RACD should be guided by careful consideration of their field feasibility and cost-effectiveness to support malaria elimination efforts.
