Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is widely used as a partner drug in artemisinin combination therapy for Plasmodium falciparum malaria in India, except in the North-Eastern states. Drug resistance arises through mutations in Pfdhfr and Pfdhps, compromising treatment efficacy. The study investigated geographic distribution, temporal trends and molecular evolution of SP resistance markers in P. falciparum field...
