Rationale and Abstract
In 2014 Asia-Pacific leaders pledged a malaria free Asia-Pacific by 2030. Then this project will evaluate the utility of these tests both in mass screening and treatment programs and for the rapid delineation of areas where transmission persists from those where it has been eliminated. This will address two major roadblocks to malaria elimination in the Asia-Pacific.
