Genetically Determined Response to Artemisinin Treatment in Western Kenyan Plasmodium falciparum Parasites.
Genetically determined artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum has been described in Southeast Asia. The relevance of recently described Kelch 13-propeller mutations for artemisinin resistance in Sub-Saharan Africa parasites is still unknown. Southeast Asia parasites have low genetic diversi...
