Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have documented Pfhrp2/3 gene deletion globally as one of the biological threats in the fight against malaria. For malaria diagnosis, PfHRP2 based RDTs are most widely used in India, and performance of these RDTs are affected by deleted Pfhrp2/3 gene in Plasmodium falciparum. This study was planned to confirm Pfhrp2/3 gene deletion incidences and genetic variation in PfHRP2-based RDT...
