Disease surveillance activities are usually resource-constrained and should be optimised to achieve spatial real-time situational awareness. Such optimisation would help with better resource allocation, reduced logistics, other costs. India has a high population density, diverse geography climatic conditions, difficult terrain. With respect malaria, Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) vivax (Pv) endemic, substantial variability of transmission across the country. While for Pv, drug efficacy appears...
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are crucial for diagnosing malaria in resource-limited settings. These tests, which detect the histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) and its structural homologue PfHRP3, specifically designed to identify Plasmodium falciparum . Deletion of Pfhrp2 gene parasite has been reported India other malaria-endemic countries. Therefore, periodic surveillance Pfhrp3 genetic deletions is crucial. We conducted a study examine these P isolates from nine states India. In this...
