Immunocapture diagnostic assays for malaria using Plasmodium lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH).

TL;DR: Diagnostic tests based on the detection of pLDH are both sensitive and practical for the detection, speciation, and quantitation of all human Plasmodium infections and can also be used to indicate drug-resistant infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polymorphisms in Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine Resistance Transporter and Multidrug Resistance 1 Genes: Parasite Risk Factors That Affect Treatment Outcomes for P. falciparum Malaria After Artemether-Lumefantrine and Artesunate-Amodiaquine

TL;DR: Monitoring selection and responding to emerging signs of drug resistance are critical tools for preserving efficacy of artemisinin combination therapies; determination of the prevalence of at least pfcrt K76T and pfmdr1 N86Y should now be routine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Absence of association between Plasmodium falciparum small sub-unit ribosomal RNA gene mutations and in vitro decreased susceptibility to doxycycline

TL;DR: The association between polymorphism of the small sub-unit ribosomal RNA apicoplastic gene pfssrRNA and in vitro susceptibilities of P. falciparum isolates to doxycycline was investigated and it was found that the pfSSrRNA gene is not associated with in vitro decreased susceptibility.
