RDT Test antigens: advantages and disadvantages

Species-specific antigens: The following antigens are specific for individual malaria species: (1) Histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2): An antigen that is specific for P.falciparum - Click for details of HRP2 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 ]
