Abstract excerpt
The emergence of Plasmodium falciparum parasites partially resistant to artemisinins (ART-R) poses a significant threat to recent gains in malaria control. ART-R has been associated with PfKelch13 (K13) mutations, which differ in fitness costs. This study investigates the gametocyte production and transmission fitness of African and Asian P. falciparum isolates with different K13 genotypes across multiple...
