Low prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum parasites lacking pfhrp2/3 genes among asymptomatic and symptomatic school-age children in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo

2021-11-05

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> Background. Loss of efficacy of malaria diagnostic tests may lead to untreated or mistreated cases, compromising case management and control. There is an increasing reliance on rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), with the most widely used of these targeting the Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 gene. There are numerous reports of the deletion of this gene in P. falciparum parasi...
