Surveillance of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 gene deletions among symptomatic Plasmodium falciparum malaria patients in Central Vietnam

Abstract Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) remain the main point-of-care tests for diagnosis of symptomatic Plasmodium falciparum malaria in endemic areas. However, parasites with gene deletions in the most common RDT target, histidine rich protein 2 (pfhrp2/HRP2), can produce false-n...
