Abstract excerpt
Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest malaria parasite, continues to burden health systems across sub-Saharan Africa, where artemether-lumefantrine remains a frontline treatment. Partial artemisinin resistance is emerging, increasing selection pressure on lumefantrine (LM), yet the molecular basis of reduced LM susceptibility remains poorly defined. While LM has been described as refractory to resistance, its...
