MOLECULAR MECHANISMS OF RESISTANCE IN ANTIMALARIAL CHEMOTHERAPY: The Unmet Challenge

Abstract excerpt

▪ Abstract The enormous public health problem posed by malaria has been substantially worsened in recent years by the emergence and worldwide spread of drug-resistant parasites. The utility of two major therapies, chloroquine and the synergistic combination of pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine, is now seriously compromised. Although several genetic mechanisms have been described, the major source of drug resistance...
