An interactive model for the assessment of the economic costs and benefits of different rapid diagnostic tests for malaria-1

Presumptive treatment maintains a slight advantage over the HRP2 test, while the pLDH test would incur significantly higher costs, particularly at higher transmission intensity. For adults either test would be slightly more efficient than presumptive treatment, with a slight advantage to the HRP2 test up to very high prevalences.
