Genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) and its effect on the performance of PfHRP2-based rapid diagnostic tests
11 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) play a crucial role in the management and control of malaria infection. The histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP-2) based RDTs are the most commonly used RDTs for malaria diagnosis in Sudan. Deletion of pfhrp2 in Plasmodium falciparum genome affect the accuracy of PfHRP-2 based RDT kits. This study aimed to identify molecular variation of pfhrp2 among suspected malaria patients...
