Abstract excerpt
Drug resistance surveillance is a major integral part of malaria control programs. Molecular methods play a pivotal role in drug resistance detection and related molecular research. This study aimed to develop a rapid and accurate detection method for drug resistance of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum). A quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) assay has been developed that identifies the mutation at locus A256T...
