La principal estrategia para el control de la malaria, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), es un diagnóstico rápido y adecuado seguido de un tratamiento efectivo. Los laboratorios de referencia de microbiología tienen entre sus funciones el desarrollo y validación de nuevas metodologías diagnósticas para ayudar al control y erradicación de la malaria en el mundo y en nuestro caso para evitar la reintroducción en nuestro país. En este trabajo se hace una revisión de los métodos más extendidos para el diagnóstico de malaria: i) métodos clásicos, como son la microscopía y los test de diagnóstico rápido, ii) métodos moleculares, como PCR y LAMP, y, iii) por último, los nuevos avances en microscopía automática e inteligencia artificial.
