Description
Scott Wilson, Yong Ah, and Michael Aidoo test how slip-ups in method bend malaria rapid test results in the lab. Their paper is from two thousand twenty-five. Such tests are the main malaria check in sub-Saharan Africa, run by staff with scant lab training. Kit swaps without fresh training breed drift from the maker's steps.
Six kits face cultured parasites at set loads, first by the book, then with changed blood or buffer amounts and wait times. Too much blood floods most kits into invalid runs. Short waits stray most from base; lean buffer also spoils runs, while extra buffer does not. High parasite loads read true in spite of most slips. Training and kit care still matter most at low loads.
