| THE ANTIGENS |
| 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 |
| 2. 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) ]
