متن کاملPolyclonal Plasmodium falciparum malaria in travelers and selection of antifolate mutations after proguanil prophylaxis.
The polymorphism of malaria parasites will greatly influence the efficiency of antimalarial drugs and vaccines. This study determined the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum infections in 107 travelers and estimated the importance of mutations in the parasite dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) gene for clinical breakthrough during proguanil prophylaxis. Genotyping with regards to the three h...

These cases suggest that chloroquine-proguanil prophylaxis is not always effective and that travelers with unexplained symptoms should b...
