Genomic Characterization of Recrudescent Plasmodium malariae after Treatment with Artemether/Lumefantrine

Plasmodium malariae is the only human malaria parasite species with a 72-hour intraerythrocytic cycle and the ability to persist in the host for life. We present a case of a P. malariae infection with clinical recrudescence after directly observed administration of artemether/lumefantrine. By using...
