TL;DR: Assessment of the spread of artemisinin-resistant P falciparum in Myanmar finds Artemisinin resistance extends across much of Myanmar, and Appropriate therapeutic regimens should be tested urgently and implemented comprehensively if spread of warfarin resistance to other regions is to be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Assessment of Artemisinin Resistance Markers, Polymorphisms in the K13 Propeller, and a Multidrug-Resistance Gene in the Eastern and Western Border Areas of Myanmar
Myat Htut Nyunt,Thaung Hlaing,Htet Wai Oo,Lu-Lu Kyaw Tin-Oo,Hnin Phyu Phway,Bo Wang,Ni Ni Zaw,Soe Soe Han,Thurein Tun,Kyaw Kyaw San,Myat Phone Kyaw,Eun-Taek Han +11 more
TL;DR: The low prevalence of K13 mutations and the absence of day 3 parasitaemic cases indicate that artemisinin resistance may not have spread to the western Myanmar border region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in universal coverage and utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets in migrant plantation workers in Myanmar.
Myat Htut Nyunt,Khin Myo Aye,Myat Phone Kyaw,Thar Tun Kyaw,Thaung Hlaing,Kyaw Oo,Ni Ni Zaw,Thin Thin Aye,Nechi A San +8 more
TL;DR: There should be efforts to improve effective utilization of ITNs by continuous mass free distribution, durability monitoring, surveillance of insecticide resistance of the vector and behaviour change interventions in migrant plantation workers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The extended 5-day regimen was very well tolerated, and would be an option to prolong the useful therapeutic life of AL, and was still highly effective in this area of South-East Myanmar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving uptake and use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests in the context of artemisinin drug resistance containment in eastern Myanmar: an evaluation of incentive schemes among informal private healthcare providers
Tin Aung,Chris White,Dominic Montagu,Willi McFarland,Thaung Hlaing,Hnin Su Su Khin,Aung Kyaw San,Christina Briegleb,Ingrid Chen,May Sudhinaraset +9 more
TL;DR: Results show that training and quality supervision of informal private healthcare providers can result in improved demand for, and appropriate use of RDTs in drug resistance containment areas in eastern Myanmar.
