Emergence of Genetic Mutations associated with Malaria Diagnostic and Artemisinin Partial Resistance in Somalia: A Genomic Surveillance Study

2026-07-21

Abstract excerpt

Histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2)-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are central to malaria case management in Africa but fail when Plasmodium falciparum parasites lack the pfhrp2 or pfhrp3 genes. Widespread deletions have been reported in Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Djibouti, yet no systematic data have been available from Somalia. Between May and October 2023, we collected 7148 dried blood spot (DBS) samples from p...
