Origin and dissemination of Plasmodium falciparum drug-resistance mutations in South America.

The Journal of infectious diseases - 1 Oct 2002

Cortese Joseph F, Caraballo Alejandro, Contreras Carmen E, Plowe Christopher V

Abstract excerpt

Multidrug resistance is a major obstacle to the control of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and its origins and modes of dissemination are imperfectly understood. In this study, haplotyping and microsatellite analysis of malaria from 5 regions of the South American Amazon support the conclusion that the parasite mutations conferring mid- and high-level resistance to the antifolate combination...
