Novel Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2/3 repeat type in Ethiopian malaria infection: does this affect performance of HRP2-based malaria RDT?

Novel Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2/3 repeat type in Ethiopian malaria infection: does this affect performance of HRP2-based malaria RDT?

Abstract Background Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) provide quick, easy, and convenient early diagnosis of malaria ensuring better case management particularly in resource-constrained settings. Nevertheless, the efficiency of HRP2-based RDT can be compromised by Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich pr...
