Analysis of the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase gene sequences in <it>Plasmodium vivax </it>field isolates that failed chloroquine treatment
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>To use pyrimethamine as an alternative anti-malarial drug for chloroquine-resistant malaria parasites, it was necessary to determine the enzyme's genetic variation in dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate syntase (DHFR-TS) among K...
