Abstract

New malaria diagnostic methods based on hemozoin (Hz) detection have been reported recently and were investigated in rodent models. These models are likely to produce unduly favorable results compared to the reality of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Thus, for malaria diagnostics, results from rodent malaria experiments must be interpreted with caution
