Mapping the genomic landscape of multidrug resistance in <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> and its impact on parasite fitness
2023-06-03
Abstract excerpt
Drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites have swept across Southeast Asia and now threaten Africa. By implementing a P. falciparum genetic cross using humanized mice, we report the identification of key determinants of resistance to artemisinin (ART) and piperaquine (PPQ) in the dominant Asian KEL1/PLA1 lineage. We mapped k13 as the central mediator of ART resistance and identified secondary markers. Appl...
