Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Sustained antimalarial drug use against Plasmodium falciparum has often resulted in drug resistance and the selection of associated genetic markers in malaria endemic populations. The genetic markers of resistance to legacy drugs like chloroquine persist in The Gambia. This study assesses the effect of these legacy drug-resistance genomic backgrounds on in vitro responses to antimalarial drugs in The...
