在撒哈拉以南非洲，疟疾每年夺去100多万5岁以下儿童的生命。目前的控制努力受到日益严重的耐药性、不可靠的诊断、普遍的过度治疗和不断上涨的药物费用的阻碍。在这种环境下，新的和广泛可用的疟疾诊断方法有可能挽救生命，并大大减少过度治疗。
Malaria kills > 1 million children aged < 5 years in sub-Saharan Africa annually. Current control efforts are hampered by increasing drug resistance, unreliable diagnostics, widespread overtreatment and rising drug costs. In this environment, new and widely available malaria diagnostics have the potential to save lives and drastically reduce overtreatment.
