Genetic Sequence Variation in the <i>Plasmodium falciparum </i>Histidine-rich Protein 2 Gene from Field Isolates in Tanzania: Impact on Malaria Rapid Diagnosis
2022-07-13
Abstract excerpt
Malaria rapid diagnosis test (RDT) is crucial for managing the disease, and the effectiveness of detection depends on parameters such as sensitivity and specificity of the RDT. Several factors can affect the performance of RDT. In this study, we focus on pfhrp2 sequence variation and its impact on RDTs targeted by antigens encoded by pfhrp2. Field samples collected during cross-sectional surveys in Tanzania were s...
