Abstract

Malaria elimination depends on the potency of surveillance tools. We assessed the efficacy of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in sub-microscopic malaria detection. Cross sectional or screening studies realized in Burkina Faso from 2000 to 2019 were found in PubMed using keywords “malaria”, “PCR” and “Burkina Faso” and specific inclusion criteria. Malaria prevalence and sub-microscopic (SM) were calculated from PCR, LM, and RDTs results. Overall, 6 studies (4 in Nanoro, 1 in Bourasso, and 1 in Bobo-Dioulasso) fit the inclusion criteria. The prevalence by PCR in Bourasso (before 2009) was the highest compared to Nanoro (92% vs 27.3%, p<0.001) and Bobo-Dioulasso (92% vs 34.5%, p<0.001). From PCR results it seems that SM prevalence is relatively stable over the last 20 years independently from the location (11.4% in Bourasso, 10.3% in Nanoro, 19.9% in Bobo-Dioulasso). Except in Nanoro where SMHRP2 was higher than SMPCR (12.8% vs 10.3%, p=0.04), RDT HRP2 and RDT pLDH failed to compete with PCR in SM detection. Although implementation of RDTs have triggered the reduction of malaria cases, they are not suitable for sub-microscopic malaria detection. Therefore, novel diagnostic tools as sensitive as PCR and as easy to perform as RDTs are needed.
