Monitoring artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum: comparison of parasite clearance time by microscopy and real-time PCR and evaluation of mutations in Pfatpase6 gene in Odisha state of India.

Abstract excerpt

Antimalarial drug resistance including artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a major concern in combating malaria throughout the world. Delayed parasite clearance time (PCT) is indicative of emergence of artemisinin resistance. Herein, PCT has been monitored with the help of gold standard technique microscopy accompanied by a more sensitive real-time assay for academic purpose. After the...
