Prevalence and factors associated with carriage of Pfmdr1 polymorphisms among pregnant women receiving intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) and artemether-lumefantrine for malaria treatment in Burkina Faso

Prevalence and factors associated with carriage of Pfmdr1 polymorphisms among pregnant women receiving intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) and artemether-lumefantrine for malaria treatment in Burkina Faso
