Screening for<i>Pfhrp2/3</i>-Deleted<i>Plasmodium falciparum</i>, Non-<i>falciparum</i>, and Low-Density Malaria Infections by a Multiplex Antigen Assay

Abstract

These are the first reports of Pfhrp2/3 deletion mutants in Angola. High-throughput multiplex antigen detection can inexpensively screen for low-density P. falciparum, non-falciparum, and Pfhrp2/3-deleted parasites to provide population-level antigen estimates and identify specimens requiring further molecular characterization.
