Evolution and expansion of multidrug-resistant malaria in southeast Asia: a genomic epidemiology study
22 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A multidrug-resistant co-lineage of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, named KEL1/PLA1, spread across Cambodia in 2008-13, causing high rates of treatment failure with the frontline combination therapy dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine. Here, we report on the evolution and spread of KEL1/PLA1 in subsequent years. METHODS: For this genomic epidemiology study, we analysed whole genome sequencing data from P...
