“…Our review of malaria biomarkers summarized available evidence on novel biomarker candidates for malaria diagnosis but also revealed that few parasite proteins reported were selected as a result of an unbiased approach. Exceptions were mature erythrocyte surface antigen, glutamate-rich protein, and the P. vivax -specific proteins PVX_110940, PVX_083555, PVX_090265, PVX_003545, and PVX_094303, identified using high-throughput analysis techniques, for example, mass spectrometry [ 36 , 39 , 42 , 61 ]. These studies failed to describe the intrinsic diagnostic features of the identified candidates.…”
