Genetic variability of Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich proteins 2 and 3 in Central America
Abstract Background Malaria is an important disease in many tropical countries. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are valuable tools for diagnosing malaria in remote areas. The majority of RDTs used for the diagnosis of Plasmodium falciparum are based on the detection of the specific histidine-rich prot...
