GENE VARIATION AND SUSPECTED <i>PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM</i> HISTIDINE-RICH PROTEIN 2 GENE DELETION AND ITS IMPACT ON SENSITIVITY OF MALARIA RAPID DIAGNOSTIC TESTS IN SUDAN

2017-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) play a significant role in malaria case management and case investigations. Variability or absence of antigens targeted by PfHRP2-based RDTs have been reported worldwide. However, little data is available concerning genetic variability within Sudanese Plasmodium falciparum isolates while variable sensitivity of PfHRP2 based RDTs has been observed. The objective was...
