Competition

Organizations such as Unitaid or the World Health Organisation publish yearly documents on the competitive landscape of malaria diagnostics. The UNITAID report can be found [http://www.unitaid.eu/images/marketdynamics/publications/UNITAID%20Malaria%20Diagnostics%20Market%20Landscape_2012.pdf here].

A great number of malaria diagnostics methods already exists, but most of them are still constrained inside laboratories, as shown in the image below (image courtesy of UNITAID) UNITAID Malaria TechnologyLandscape.png
