pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 study profile. RDT in this case means samples tested with HRP2 rapid diagnostic tests. PCR is the polymerase chain reaction for parasite detection and speciation. pfhrp2 and pfhrp3 PCRs are the polymerase chain reactions for amplification of exon 1 and exon 2 of P. falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 and histidine-rich protein 3 genes. pfhrp2/pfhrp3 PCR negative are samples in which pfhrp2/3 genes were missing despite presence of parasite DNA and msp1 and msp2 single copy genes. Low quality DNA means samples that were DNA PCR positive but could not amplify two single copy genes (msp1 and msp2) as indicator of quality of DNA
