The figure below shows a diagram of a test strip that has tested
positive for visceral leishmaniasis. A red to light pink test line
indicates the test is positive for VL. No test line indicates the test
is negative for VL. In both cases, the control line should appear. If a
control line is not present, the test is considered invalid.
