Limited threat of Plasmodium falciparum pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 gene deletion to the utility 1 of HRP2-based malaria RDTs in Northern Uganda

2023-10-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) that detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein-2 (PfHRP2) are exclusively deployed in Uganda however deletion of the pfhrp2/3 target gene threatens their usefulness as malaria diagnosis and surveillance tools. <h4>Methods: </h4>: A cross sectional survey was conducted in 40 sites across four regions of Uganda in Acholi, Lango, W. Nile and Karamoja from...
