Evolution of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletions in Equatorial Guinea between the pre- and post-RDT introduction

Background: Pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletions are threatening Plasmodium falciparum malaria diagnosis by rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) due to false negatives. This study assesses the changes in the frequencies of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletions (pfhrp2Del and pfhrp3Del, respectively) and the genes in their fla...

This study assesses the changes in the frequencies of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletions (pfhrp2Del and pfhrp3Del, respectively) and the genes in their flaking regions, before and after RDT introduction in Equatorial Guinea. Methods: A total of 566 P. falciparum samples were genotyped to assess the presence of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 deletions and their flanking genes. The specimens were collected 18 years apart from two provinces of Equatorial Guinea, North Bioko (Insular Region) and Litoral Province (Continental Region). Orthologs of pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 genes from other closely related species were used to compare sequencing data to assess pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 evolution. Additionally, population structure was studied using seven neutral microsatellites. Results: This study found that pfhrp2Del and pfhrp3Del were present before the introduction of RDT; however, they increased in frequency after their use, reaching more than 15%. Haplotype networks suggested that pfhrp2Del and pfhrp3Del emerged multiple times.
