High prevalence of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 gene deletions and major threat to malaria control programs in Ethiopia

2025-09-23

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Rapiddiagnostictests (RDTs) targeting <italic>pf</italic>histidine rich protein2 (<italic>pf</italic>HRP2) are widely used for diagnosis of <italic>Plasmodium falciparum</italic> infections in resource-limited malaria endemic countries. However, test results are affected by deletions of the <italic>pfhrp2</italic>, <italic>pfhrp3</italic> and flanking genes and associated neg...
