Abstract excerpt
Understanding the population genetics of genes which shape resistance to antimalarial drugs can help in devising novel control strategies. The high spread of the resistant strains of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum pose a greater challenge than before to the control programs across the world. Specific mutations in the P. falciparum chloroquine resistant transporter gene "Pfcrt" have been associated...
