Ethics approval and consent to participate
: Bio-banking of human clinical samples used for malaria diagnostics and secondary uses for scientific purposes is possible as long as the corresponding patients are informed and have not indicated any objections. This requirement was fulfilled here by giving verbal information to the patients, and no immediate or delayed patient opposition was reported to the hospital clinicians. Verbal consent was obtained from all the patients or their parents/guardians before blood collection in Dakar. The ethical committee of the Hôpital Principal de Dakar approved the study. Informed consent was not required for this study because the sampling procedures and testing are part of the French national recommendations for the care and surveillance of malaria.
