Malaria

One global threat, four parasites

Malaria is a complex disease caused by 4 key Plasmodium species (P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. malariae, P. ovale), each with its own lifecycle, risk of severe disease, and adaptations to avoid detection.  

As leading experts in tropical disease diagnostics, our range of OnSite® Malaria Rapid Tests supports simultaneous detection of P. falciparum and other prevalent Malaria parasites, resulting in a well-rounded portfolio of Malaria diagnostic aids trusted by clinicians worldwide.

Why OnSite®? 

Full-spectrum patient management 

• Detects past and active Malaria infections from P. falciparum and other prevalent Malaria parasite species ( P. vivax, P. malariae, or P. ovale), guiding species-specific care decisions based on risk of severe complications or relapsing infection from dormant P. vivax or P. ovale schizonts 

Antimicrobial stewardship 

• Supports efforts to prevent antimicrobial resistance by minimizing presumptive Malaria treatment 

Global disease monitoring 

• Provides valuable data about Plasmodium species prevalence worldwide, aiding global vector control and disease surveillance efforts
