A surrogate marker of piperaquine-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria: a phenotype–genotype association study
3 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Western Cambodia is the epicentre of Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance and is facing high rates of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine treatment failures. Genetic tools to detect the multidrug-resistant parasites are needed. Artemisinin resistance can be tracked using the K13 molecular marker, but no marker exists for piperaquine resistance. We aimed to identify genetic markers of piperaquine...
