Malaria Rapid Diagnosis with WHO Pre-qualified mRDT
Malaria remains widespread in tropical and subtropical countries and is both preventable and curable. Recent estimates show hundreds of millions of cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths annually, with the WHO African Region carrying the largest share of the burden and children under five accounting for most deaths.
Delayed, inaccurate, or inaccessible malaria diagnosis undermines appropriate treatment, drives continued transmission, and places heavy burdens on health systems and communities in high‑burden countries.
Global demand for rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) is growing as programmes prioritise point‑of‑care confirmation of malaria to improve case management and surveillance; market analyses project expansion in multi‑species and higher‑sensitivity RDT formats to meet this need.
Introducing Meriscreen Malaria Pf/Pan Ag Rapid kit
The MERISCREEN Malaria Pf/Pan Ag test kit is among the few WHO-prequalified RDT Kits for malaria diagnostics. It’s an in-vitro diagnostic immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of infection by Plasmodium falciparum (through P. falciparum-specific HRP2 antigens) and P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale (through pan-pLDH antigens) in human capillary and/or venous whole blood specimens.
Why Meriscreen?
- Improved species differentiation helps target treatment and follow‑up.
- Rapid results within 20 minutes to aid immediate clinical intervention and decision making.
- Competitive shelf life and limit of detection make it suitable for peripheral clinics and mass‑screening campaigns.
- No requirement for additional instrumentation, ensuring suitability for point-of-care and remote settings.
Meriscreen’s significance lies in closing diagnostic gaps by increasing access to reliable testing, reducing inappropriate treatment, and strengthening surveillance through faster case confirmation.
