Molecular evidence of pfhrp2/pfhrp3 exon 2 deletions and potential HRP2-based RDT diagnostic failure in southern Ethiopia

Deletions of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 in Plasmodium falciparum compromise the diagnostic performance of HRP2-based rapid diagnostic tests. These deletions can cause false-negative HRP2-based RDT results, leading to missed treatment and ongoing transmission. This study determined the pre...
