Evidence of Artemisinin-Resistant Malaria in Western Cambodia

TL;DR: Artemisinins are potent and rapidly acting antimalarial drugs, and their widespread use for treating patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria raises the question of emerging drug resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiple populations of artemisinin-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in Cambodia

- 01 Jun 2013 - 
TL;DR: An analysis of genome variation in 825 P. falciparum samples from Asia and Africa is described that identifies an unusual pattern of parasite population structure at the epicenter of artemisinin resistance in western Cambodia, and a catalog of SNPs that show high levels of differentiation in the art Artemisinin-resistant subpopulations are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Independent Emergence of Artemisinin Resistance Mutations Among Plasmodium falciparum in Southeast Asia

TL;DR: While there was some evidence of spreading resistance, there was no evidence of resistance moving westward from Cambodia into Myanmar, and K13 appears to be a major determinant of artemisinin resistance throughout Southeast Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic loci associated with delayed clearance of Plasmodium falciparum following artemisinin treatment in Southeast Asia

TL;DR: Replication and validation studies are needed to refine the location of loci responsible for artemisinin resistance and to understand the mechanism behind it; however, two SNPs on chromosomes 10 and 13 may be useful markers of delayed parasite clearance in surveillance for artesunate resistance in Southeast Asia.
