Geographical emergence of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine drug resistance-associated P. falciparum and P. malariae alleles in co-existing Anopheles mosquito and asymptomatic human populations across Cameroon.

Abstract excerpt

Malaria molecular surveillance remains critical in detecting and tracking emerging parasite resistance to anti-malarial drugs. The current study employed molecular techniques to determine Plasmodium species prevalence and characterize the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium malariae molecular markers of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance in humans and wild Anopheles mosquito populations in...
