Low prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 and 3 gene deletions in malaria-endemic states of India
18 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are crucial for diagnosing malaria in resource-limited settings. These tests, which detect the histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) and its structural homologue PfHRP3, are specifically designed to identify Plasmodium falciparum. Deletion of the Pfhrp2 gene in parasite has been reported in India and other malaria-endemic countries. Therefore, periodic surveillance of Pfhrp2 and Pfhrp3...
