Molecular, Transcriptomic, and Proteomic Characterization of <i>Plasmodium</i> Infections that Evade Detection by Rapid Diagnostic Tests in Mizan Aman, Ethiopia

2026-01-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Failure of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) to detect Plasmodium parasites in peripheral blood of individuals is a major barrier to successful case management and control of malaria in Ethiopia. Characterizing factors contributing to RDT failure is essential if malaria control and elimination strategies are to succeed. <h4>Methods</h4> We consented and enrolled 148 individuals with suspected m...
