Abstract
The past decade was a milestone in the development of malaria diagnostic te chnology. Today, a variety of simplified and rapid malaria diagnostic devic es, collectively referred to as 'dipsticks', is available. This paper discu sses the potential roles of these devices, and obstacles to their use, in s upporting malaria control strategies.
