I56/82896/2015 GENETIC TRANSFORMATON OF PfMDR1 GENE IN Plasmodium falciparum. Malaria has became a pandemic disease in many regions of the world for instance Africa, South east Asia, South America and Western Pacific. The Plasmodium falciparum is the species of interest in Malaria, where Plasmodium falciparum is a parasite harbored by mosquitoes (for instance Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles Arabiensis)as the vector. According to WHO 2015 report, there are 214 million incidence of malaria worldwide, it has claimed approximately 438,000 lives annually most of which are children under five years of age. P.falciparum has become a big challenge not only because it causes malaria but also due to the fact that it is developing resistance to the most…show more content…
From this technique, it was concluded that there is a DV function related to PfMDR1in mature gametocytes yet separate from haemoglobin metabolism. REFERENCES.

    In the paper “Malaria rapid diagnostic tests: challenges and prospects”, the authors claim that a lot of rapid diagnostic tests have been developed in detecting malaria caused by the Plasmodium mosquitoes. Currently, there are three antigens: namely Plasmodium falciparum histidine- rich protein 2, plasmodial aldolase and plasmodial lactate dehydrogenase that are used for rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). But, the other factors relating to these tests differ from one another. This paper serves the purpose
