Malaria control and the unexpected spread of diagnostic-resistant <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> in Peru

2026-02-26

Abstract excerpt

Plasmodium falciparum parasites with deletions of the histidine-rich protein 2 and 3 ( hrp2 and hrp3 ) genes evade detection by common rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) and pose a growing threat to malaria control. While these deletions have emerged in multiple regions globally, the evolutionary forces driving their spread remain unclear. Here, we analyze 1,215 P. falciparum samples collected between 2003 and 2018...
