Indeed, most pfhrp2-negative/pfhrp3-positive samples tested positive with HRP2-based SD BioLine malaria RDTs when parasitemia was >1000 parasites/μL, which suggests that HRP3 cross-reaction with HRP2-based tests acts as a failsafe, in cases of adequate parasite density (generally observed to be >1,000 parasites/μL [14]). The gene discussed is HDGFL2; the disease is parasitic infectious disease.
