Read here the latest article "Local variability in Pfhrp2 and Pfhrp3 gene deletions prevalence: Approaches, estimation methods, and reporting - A systematic review and meta-analysis"

Currently, the widely used antigen-based rapid tests (RDTs) in sub-Saharan Africa primarily detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). However, their diagnostic accuracy is being compromised by the increasing report of evolving parasite strains with deletion of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes in malaria endemic regions. Therefore, elucidating local heterogeneity and addressing methodological variability are critical for guiding diagnostic strategies.
