An interactive model for the assessment of the economic costs and benefits of different rapid diagnostic tests for malaria-0

Ct costs alone implies that presumptive treatment is the preferred option across all prevalences. For adults the RDT bars remain below the presumptive treatment trendline, indicating that the use of RDTs is less costly than presumptive treatment.

An interactive model for the assessment of the economic costs and benefits of different rapid diagnostic tests for malaria-1

Presumptive treatment maintains a slight advantage over the HRP2 test, while the pLDH test would incur significantly higher costs, particularly at higher transmission intensity. For adults either test would be slightly more efficient than presumptive treatment, with a slight advantage to the HRP2 test up to very high prevalences.
