A Worldwide Map of Plasmodium Falciparum K13-Propeller Polymorphisms

Didier Menard, +97 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the K13-propeller sequence polymorphism in 14,037 samples collected in 59 countries in which malaria is endemic and identified 108 nonsynonymous K13 mutations, which showed marked geographic disparity in their frequency and distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Artemisinin Action and Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum.

TL;DR: This work describes recent progress made in defining the molecular basis of artemisinin resistance, which has identified a primary role for the P. falciparum K13 protein and suggests potential ways to overcome resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Globally prevalent PfMDR1 mutations modulate Plasmodium falciparum susceptibility to artemisinin-based combination therapies

TL;DR: Zinc-finger nucleases are used to genetically modify the multidrug resistance-1 transporter PfMDR1 at amino acids 86 and 184, and it is demonstrated that the widely prevalent N86Y mutation augments resistance to the ACT partner drug amodiaquine and the former first-line agent chloroquine.
