Selection and Spread of Artemisinin-Resistant Alleles in Thailand Prior to the Global Artemisinin Resistance Containment Campaign
The recent emergence of artemisinin resistance in the Greater Mekong Subregion poses a major threat to the global effort to control malaria. Tracking the spread and evolution of artemisinin-resistant parasites is critical in aiding efforts to contain the spread of resistance. A total of 417 patient samples from the year 2007, collected during malaria surveillance studies across ten provinces in...
متن کاملEvolution of Plasmodium falciparum drug resistance: implications for the development and containment of artemisinin resistance.
Malaria is a protozoan disease transmitted by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito. Among five species that can infect humans, Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for the most severe human malaria. Resistance of P. falciparum to chloroquine and pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine, conventionally used antimalarial drugs, is already widely distributed in many endemic areas. As a result, artemisinin-based co...
متن کاملPerspective: Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria and the Wolf
The emergence of artemisinin-resistant malaria has been widely reported in scientific journals as well as the lay press. But how strong is the scientific evidence? It makes sense that artemisinin-resistant malaria would be emerging. Falciparum malaria has become resistant to every other drug. Why should artemisinin be different? Furthermore, artemisinin resistance seems to be developing in the ...
متن کاملAssessment of household ownership of bed nets in areas with and without artemisinin resistance containment measures in Myanmar
BACKGROUND Myanmar lies in the Greater Mekong Subregion where there is artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria. As the artemisinin compound is the pillar of effective antimalarial therapies, containing the spread of artemisinin resistance is a national and global priority. The use of insecticide-treated bed nets/long-lasting insecticidal nets (ITNs/LLINs) is the key intervention for...
متن کاملThe spread of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in the Greater Mekong subregion: a molecular epidemiology observational study
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that the PfKelch13 mutations that confer artemisinin resistance in falciparum malaria have multiple independent origins across the Greater Mekong subregion, which has motivated a regional malaria elimination agenda. We aimed to use molecular genotyping to assess antimalarial drug resistance selection and spread in the Greater Mekong subregion. METHODS In this obse...
