Study Design & Procedure The primary purpose of this evaluation is to quantify the diagnostic performance of the Autoscope version 2 prototype in a field setting. The performance of the Autoscope version 2 prototype will be assessed by scanning of negative and positive slides with the Autoscope version 2 and comparing the results with expert microscopy. Plasmodium genus- and species-specific PCR will also be performed as an additional confirmatory test for the detection of malaria parasites and their species if present. Testing by microscopy and Autoscope will be performed in field clinic settings on Giemsa-stained stained slides prepared from febrile patient blood collected from a finger-prick. Patient recruitment will aim to recruit up to 80 slide-confirmed malaria cases (P. falciparum, P. vivax or other species) per country (i.e., total 160 cases) have been included in the study.
