Read here the latest article "Local variability in Pfhrp2 and Pfhrp3 gene deletions prevalence: Approaches, estimation methods, and reporting - A systematic review and meta-analysis"

Currently, the widely used antigen-based rapid tests (RDTs) in sub-Saharan Africa primarily detect Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). However, their diagnostic accuracy is being compromised by the increasing report of evolving parasite strains with deletion of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes in malaria endemic regions. Therefore, elucidating local heterogeneity and addressing methodological variability are critical for guiding diagnostic strategies.

Here is yet another Open Access MalariaWorld Journal article for you "Analysis of clinical malaria hotspots according to transmission levels in two health areas of the Kolondieba health district, Mali."

Despite significant progress, remains a major challenge in , due to heterogeneous transmission. The WHO ‘High Burden to High Impact’ strategy advocates targeting of high-transmission areas. This study aimed to identify malaria in two health areas within the Kolondieba district with differing transmission levels.
