Abstract:The molecular basis of Plasmodium vivax chloroquine (CQ) resistance
is still unknown. Elucidating the molecular background of parasites that are
sensitive or resistant to CQ will help to identify and monitor the spread of
resistance. By genotyping a panel of molecular markers, we demonstrate a similar
genetic variability between in vitro CQ-resistant and sensitive phenotypes of
P. vivax parasites. However, our studies identified two
loci (MS8 and MSP1-B10) that could be used to discriminate
between both CQ-sus… Show more
