HDGFL2 and malaria: Yet, the relatively low sensitivity (> 100 parasites/μL) of RDT [31], recent identification of parasites which have deletions in the Plasmodium falciparum histidine rich protein 2 (pfhrp2) gene [32,33] and the persistence of the P. falciparum Histidine Rich Protein 2 (HRP2) antigen have hampered the usefulness of rapid PfHRP2 based malaria diagnostics.
