Malaria Prevalence, Associated Risk factors, and Molecular Surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum hrp2/hrp3 Gene Deletions in Northern Uganda

2026-07-10

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Background Malaria remains a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Uganda, where <italic>Plasmodium falciparum</italic> accounts for the 98% of malaria infections. Although malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) based on histidine-rich protein 2/3 (PfHRP2/3) are widely used, deletions in these genes can compromise diagnostic accuracy and lead to false-negative results. This s...
