Performance of the HRP2-based ultrasensitive RDT: Field studies

Objectives

Main objectives:

1. Show how and where highly-sensitive RDTs provide added value over current tests
   • Performance in the field
   • Sensitivity improvements over current RDTs
   • Cost and point of care advantages over PCR
2. Provide a tool to perform a real assessment of screen & test versus MDA
   • Test and treat has not been effectively compared to MDA due to an absence of appropriate tools
   • PCR was not performed at the point of care level results in delays in treatment
3. Help define guidance on elimination and surveillance strategies
