Abstract excerpt
The spread of Pfkelch13 mutations in Southeast Asia threatens the effectiveness of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for malaria. Previous studies revealed a high prevalence of key mutations, including C580Y, P574L, and R561H, emphasizing the need for the surveillance to combat drug resistance. This study, we developed a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assay for the rapid screening of common mutations...
