In spite of significant progress towards malaria control and elimination achieved in South
America in the 2000s, this mosquito-transmitted tropical disease remains an important public …

Achieving a malaria-free world presents exciting scientific challenges as well as
overwhelming health, equity, and economic benefits. WHO and countries are setting …

In Africa, most rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for falciparum malaria recognize histidine-rich
protein 2 antigen. Plasmodium falciparum parasites lacking histidine-rich protein 2 (pfhrp2) …

MalariaGEN is a data-sharing network that enables groups around the world to work
together on the genomic epidemiology of malaria. Here we describe a new release of …

False-negative results for Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein (HRP) 2–based
rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are increasing in Eritrea. We investigated HRP gene 2/3 …

Most rapid diagnostic tests for Plasmodium falciparum malaria target the Histidine-Rich
Proteins 2 and 3 (HRP2 and HRP3). Deletions of the hrp2 and hrp3 genes result in false …

Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) play a critical role in malaria case management,
surveillance and case investigations. Test performance is largely determined by design and …

Abstract Background. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) account for more than two-thirds of
malaria diagnoses in Africa. Deletions of the Plasmodium falciparum hrp2 (pfhrp2) gene …

Background Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) play a key role in malaria management
and control. The PfHRP-2 based RDT is the most widely used RDT for malaria diagnosis in …

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global malaria elimination
programs, resulting in a sharp increase in malaria morbidity and mortality. To reduce this …
