Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>Malaria rapid diagnostic tests have become a primary and critical tool for malaria diagnosis in malaria-endemic countries where <italic>Pf</italic>HRP2-based RDTs are widely used. However, in the last decade, the accuracy of <italic>Pf</italic>HRP2-based RDTs has been challenged by the emergence of P. falciparum strains harbouring deletions of the<italic> pfhrp2</...
