Molecular surveillance of the antifolate-resistant mutation I164L in imported african isolates of <it>Plasmodium falciparum </it>in Europe: sentinel data from TropNetEurop

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Malaria parasites that carry the DHFR-mutation I164L are not only highly resistant to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine but also to the new antimalarial drug chlorproguanil-dapsone. The spread of this mutation in Africa would result in a pub...
