Multidrug-Resistant Genotypes of Plasmodium falciparum, Myanmar
We performed a molecular epidemiologic survey of mutations associated with drug-resistance genes in Plasmodium falciparum in northeastern Myanmar. In this region, 3 highly mutated drug-resistance haplotypes and 1 associated with decreased quinine susceptibility were prevalent, which suggests that parasites may be resistant to multiple commonly used antimalarial drugs.
متن کاملCombating multidrug‐resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Over the past 50 years, Plasmodium falciparum has developed resistance against all antimalarial drugs used against it: chloroquine, sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine, quinine, piperaquine and mefloquine. More recently, resistance to the artemisinin derivatives and the resulting failure of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) are threatening all major gains made in malaria control. Each time res...
متن کاملArtemisinin-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum K13 Mutant Alleles, Thailand–Myanmar Border
Area and Costa Rica in general, free-ranging dogs are common , including at playgrounds and school yards, sites also vulnerable to nocturnal visits by raccoons. Dogs can have patent B. procyonis parasite infections and can play a role in transmission of the parasite from raccoons to humans. In Costa Rica, cases of larva migrans have been reported. The Unidad de Investigación y Análisis, Regis-t...
متن کاملMolecular Surveillance for Multidrug-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum, Cambodia
We conducted surveillance for multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in Cambodia during 2004-2006 by assessing molecular changes in pfmdr1. The high prevalence of isolates with multiple pfmdr1 copies found in western Cambodia near the Thai border, where artesunate-mefloquine therapy failures occur, contrasts with isolates from eastern Cambodia, where this combination therapy remains highly e...
متن کاملDistinctive origin of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum on the China-Myanmar border
The artemisinin (ART), discovered in China, has been widely used against malaria in China over the last 30 years. Understanding the emergence and origin of ART resistance in China is therefore of great interest. We analyzed 111 culture-adapted isolates of P. falciparum from China-Myanmar (CM) border for their susceptibility to dihydroartemisinin using the ring stage survival assay (RSA0-3h) and...
