Detection of Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) mutant gene amongst malaria-infected pregnant women in Calabar, Nigeria

Annals of parasitology - 1 Jan 2000

Monjol Bernard Ekpan, Useh Monday Francis

Abstract excerpt

Chemotherapy is the mainstay in malaria control and management. For some time, chloroquine (CQ) was a drug of choice for the treatment of malaria. It was effective against all forms of malaria, cheap and readily available. The increased resistance of malaria parasites to CQ led to widespread abandonment of the drug in African and Asian countries on the prompting of the World Health Organization. Currently,...
