TL;DR: Cross-resistance studies showed that the PQ- resistant line was highly resistant to LM, while the LM-resistant line remained sensitive to PQ, so if the mechanism of resistance is similar in P. berghei and Plasmodium falciparum, the use of LM should not select for PQ resistance.
Journal Article
Choice and Sources of Antimalarial Drugs Used for Self-medication in Kisumu, Western Kenya
TL;DR: Self-medication for perceived malaria is prevalent in Kisumu city, Western Kenya, and Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT) is the drug of choice for self-medicated.
Journal Article

Journal ArticleDOI
Methotrexate and aminopterin lack in vivo antimalarial activity against murine malaria species.
Beatrice Irungu,Daniel Kiboi,Bernard Langat,G.M. Rukunga,Sergio Wittlin,Alexis Nzila,Alexis Nzila +6 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that folic acid does not influence pyrimethamine efficacy, which suggests that P. berghei may not transport folate, and MTX and AMP lack of efficacy against the four tested murine malaria species may be the result of inefficiency of drug transport.
