RDT Test antigens: advantages and disadvantages
1. Species-specific antigens: these detect individual malaria species<
histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2): specific for P.falciparum - Click for details
Species-specific forms of lactate dehydrogenase: principally either P.falciparum or P.vivax Click for details
Pan-specific antigens: these detect the presence of any malaria species
Pan-specific antigens: Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase or Plasmodium aldolase Click for details
[ Histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2) ]
[ Species-specific forms of lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDH and PvLDH) ]
[ Pan-specific antigens in RDTs ]
[ Clearance of parasite antigens from blood ]
[ Prozone effect ]
[ HRP2 gene deletion ]
