Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Plasmodium vivax remains a major cause of malaria in India, with chloroquine still used as first-line therapy. However, molecular data on resistance markers are limited. This study aimed to detect mutations in the pvmdr1 gene of P. vivax isolates and to assess their potential role as markers of chloroquine resistance. METHODS: A total of 7530 patients with acute undifferentiated febrile illness were...
