Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The emergence and spread of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin and its partner drugs pose a major challenge to malaria elimination efforts. Continuous monitoring of resistance-associated molecular markers provides valuable insights into the emergence of resistant genotypes and their geographical distribution. METHODS: In this study, we investigated mutations linked to antimalarial drug...
