Learning Points Hopefully you were correct in all your answers. However, if you were not fully successful here are some learning points: 1. Species differences: Not all species are equally well detected by RDT tests: for some species detection is quite unreliable, particularly when parasite levels are low. 2. Know how to interpret the tests: Many band patterns have more than one interpretation – some conclusions are likely, others are less likely (but possible) – it is important to recognise this. 3. Understand your test: Know the strengths and weaknesses of the antibodies used in your test, not all RDT tests are the same! 4. RDT and microscopy: these are complmentary tests with strengths and weaknesses, if you are using them together then understand their individual merits. .
