Polymorphism Analysis of <i>pfmdr1</i> and <i>pfcrt </i>from <i>Plasmodium falciparum </i>Isolates in Northwestern Nigeria Revealed the Major Markers Associated with Antimalarial Resistance
Suspicion of failure in the effectiveness of artemisinin-based combination therapies (currently the first-line treatment of malaria, worldwide) is leading to the unofficial use of alternative antimalarials, including chloroquine and sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine, across northern Nigeria. To facilitate e...
