</br>These may be used in some circumstances to optimise performance according to local requirements:</br></br> (a) Where both ''P.falciparum'' and ''P.vivax'' are highly prevalent, then tests with specificity for each species may prove valuable - ''P.falciparum'' (HRP2) and ''P.vivax'' (Pv-pLDH) may be combined with or without a pen-specific antibody. This can offer some advantages in detecting dual infection by the two species.</br></br>(b) Where HRP2 deletion are frequent, they may cause a high risk for test failure, tests multiplexed to select for Pf-pLDH and HRP2 may improve detection in these circumstances. | |||
