   Sammanfattning : Increased funding combined with effective malaria control methods for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, has resulted in a 30% reduction of the global malaria burden over the last decade. As malaria prevalence declines in areas of successful malaria control, the proportion of subpatent infections that fall below the detection level of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and microscopy increases.
