Prevalence of HRP2/3 Gene Deletion in Plasmodium falciparum Parasites in Abuja, Nigeria
Purpose: Histidine Rich Protein 2 (HRP2) rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have been widely used for malaria diagnosis in Nigeria, the single most heavily malaria-burdened country in the world. Some countries have reported HRP2 gene deletion as a contributor to false negative HRP2 RDT results, however t...
