Performance of a Novel Plasmodium falciparum Rapid Diagnostic Test in Areas of Widespread hrp2/3 Gene Deletion

Aynalem Mandefro, Xavier C. Ding, Jocelyn Farge, Gezahegn Solomon Alemayehu et autres

BACKGROUND: Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have improved malaria diagnosis; however, the emergence of hrp2/3 gene deletions threatens the reliability of HRP2-based RDTs. This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of a novel RDT detecting both HRP2 and PfLDH in a single test line. …
