Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies showed the first emergence of the R561H artemisinin-associated resistance marker in Africa, which highlights the importance of continued molecular surveillance to assess the selection and spread of this and other drug resistance markers in the region. METHOD: In this study, we used targeted amplicon deep sequencing of 116 isolates collected in two areas of Cameroon to genotype the major...
