Malaria Rapid Test Background Information
Malaria is a serious parasitic disease characterized by fever, chills, and anemia and is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. There are four kinds of malaria that can infect humans: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, and Plasmodium malariae. In humans, the parasites (called sporozoites) migrate to the liver where they mature and release another form, the merozoites. The disease now occurs in more than 90 countries worldwide, and it is estimated that there are over 500 million clinical cases and 2.7 million malaria-caused deaths per year. At the present, malaria is diagnosed by looking for the parasites in a drop of blood. Blood will be put onto a microscope slide and stained so that the parasites will be visible under a microscope.
This test is an aid in the diagnosis of Malaria infection. The disease now occurs in more than 90 countries worldwide, and it is estimated that there are over 500 million clinical cases and 2.7 million malaria-caused deaths per year.




Malaria Rapid Test Principle
DAI Malaria pan-LDH Antigen Test Antigen Test contains a membrane strip, which is pre-coated with anti-pan LDH monoclonal antibodies on the test line region of the strip. When a Whole Blood specimen is applied at one end of the membrane and following the application of the assay buffer, it reacts with the colloidal gold-anti-pan LDH antibody that have already been applied to the specimen pad. The mixture then migrates chromate-graphically towards the other end of the membrane and reacts with the monoclonal antibodies previously placed on the test line region. If the blood contains one or more of the four Malaria species, a colored line will appear in the test line region, showing a positive result. For additional details please refer to the instructions for use.
