Evaluation of Histidine-Rich Proteins 2 and 3 Gene Deletions in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> in Endemic Areas of the Brazilian Amazon

Histidine-rich proteins 2 and 3 gene (<i>pfhrp2</i> and <i>pfhrp3</i>) deletions affect the efficacy of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) based on the histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2), compromising the correct identification of the <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> species....
