Abstract excerpt
With growing concern about parasite resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) in West Africa, the effectiveness of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DHA + PQ) was assessed as an alternative drug regimen for Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC). This study aims to determine the prevalence of molecular markers of resistance to SP + AQ and DHA + PQ in Koulikoro (Mali), where SMC has been implemented since 2014....
