Acceptance and perceived value of non-invasive malaria diagnostic tests in malaria-endemic countries

Ewurama Dedea Ampadu Owusu et al.

Summary: An online survey was conducted to gather feedback from 70 National Malaria Control Programme representatives from 33 countries. Approximately half of the respondents considered current blood-based tests for malaria minimally invasive. Most participants believed that non-invasive tests, especially saliva-based tests, would be welcomed if they could match or out-perform the price and performance of current blood-based tests.
