First Detection in West Africa of a Mutation That May Contribute to Artemisinin Resistance Plasmodium falciparum
Background: The spread of drug resistance has seriously impacted the effective treatment of infection with the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Continuous monitoring of molecular marker polymorphisms associated with drug resistance in parasites is essential for malaria control and eliminatio...
