  2. 11. Spread and distribution of drug resistance and compensatory mutations in Plasmodium falciparum

    Author : Irina Tatiana Jovel Quiñonez Dalmau; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In 2010 there were an estimated 216 million cases of malaria worldwide. In Honduras there were ~9000 cases of which 88% were due to Plasmodium vivax mono-infection. Chloroquine (CQ) resistant Plasmodium falciparum have spread throughout the world curtailing its use. READ MORE
