Abstract excerpt
The efficacy of chloroquine in the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in Africa is heavily compromised by high levels of drug resistance. The occurrence of active site mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum multi drug resistance-gene 1 (pfmdr1) has been associated with development of resistance to chloroquine. This study investigates the occurrence of several mutations at codons 86, 1042 and 1246 of...
