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
(2) Forms of lactate dehydrogenase that are specific for either P.falciparum or P.vivax Click for details of PfLDH or PvLDH

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 ]
