Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) driven by mutations in the Pf chloroquine resistance transporter (Pfcrt) gene continues to pose a challenge to malaria control in endemic regions like India. Understanding the genetic diversity and evolutionary patterns of Pfcrt is important for guiding malaria surveillance and future national drug policy. METHODS: This study analysed 979 Indian...
