Assessment of the Origins and Spread of Putative Resistance-Conferring Mutations in Plasmodium vivax Dihydropteroate Synthase

ABSTRACT: Infection with Plasmodium vivax is usually treated with chloroquine, but parasites are often exposed inadvertently to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. To infer patterns of selection and spread of resistant parasites in natural populations, we determined haplotypes of P. vivax dihydropteroate syn...
