The objective was to synthesise evidence on the accuracy of the rapid-onsite diagnostic tests (RDTs) and microscopy for the detection of asymptomatic malaria as part of the surveillance activities in Asian countries.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This was a meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy. Relevant studies that evaluated the diagnostic performance of RDTs and microscopy for detection of asymptomatic malaria were searched in health-related electronic databases. The methodological quality of the studies included was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Ten studies assessing RDT and\/or microscopy were identified. The diagnostic accuracies in all these studies were verified by PCR. Overall, the pooled sensitivities of RDT, as well as microscopy for detection of any malaria parasites in asymptomatic participants, were low, while their pooled specificities were almost ideal. For the detection of <jats:italic>Plasmodium falciparum,<\/jats:italic> pooled sensitivity by RDT (59%, 95%CI:16\u201391%) or microscopy (55%, 95%CI: 25\u201382%) were almost comparable. For detection of <jats:italic>Plasmodium vivax,<\/jats:italic> pooled sensitivity of RDT (51%, 95% CI:7\u201394%) had also the comparable accuracy of microscopy (54%, 95%CI,11\u201392%). Of note are the wide range of sensitivity and specificity.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that RDTs and microscopy have limited sensitivity and are inappropriate for the detection of asymptomatic <jats:italic>Plasmodium<\/jats:italic> infections. Other methods including a combination of PCR-based strategies, Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) technique must be considered to target these infections, in order to achieve malaria elimination. However, more data is needed for the wide acceptance and feasibility of these approaches. Studies to explore the role of asymptomatic and sub-patent infections in the transmission of malaria are of critical importance and are recommended.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12936-022-04082-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,16]],"date-time":"2022-02-16T09:04:01Z","timestamp":1645002241000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Detection of asymptomatic malaria in Asian countries: a meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3425-7149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cho","family":"Naing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norah Htet","family":"Htet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saint Nway","family":"Aye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Htar Htar","family":"Aung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcel","family":"Tanner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maxine A.","family":"Whittaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"4082_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0003700","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pntd.0003700","volume":"9","author":"S Herrera","year":"2015","unstructured":"Herrera S, Ochoa-Orozco SA, Gonzalez IJ, Peinado L, Qui\u00f1ones ML, Arevalo-Herrera M.
