Notes: ^ If the study has not detailed the year of data collection, it is assumed < year of publication

* Where studies utilized multiple diagnostic methods, Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) + microscopy were classified as microscopy and RDT + microscopy + Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) were classified as PCR.

#Population figures are inclusive of non-indigenous participants in the comparative studies

$Where multiple diagnostic methods were used in the same study, the method which gave the greatest number of malarial cases was used to determine the number of cases.

Indirect Fluorescent Antibody (IFA)
