Progressive increase in point mutations associates chloroquine resistance: Even after withdrawal of chloroquine use in India

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2017
Chloroquine (CQ) is highly effective against P. vivax, due to the rapid spread of CQ resistance in P. falciparum parasites; it is no longer the drug of choice against P. falciparum. This study elucidates the scenario of chloroquine efficacy at times that

Impact of chloroquine resistance on malaria mortality

open access: yesComptes Rendus De L'Académie Des Sciences Série 3, Sciences De La Vie, 1998
Over 12 years, from 1984 to 1995, we conducted a prospective study of overall and malaria specific mortality among three rural populations in the Sahel, savanna and forest areas of Senegal. The emergence of chloroquine resistance has been associated with a dramatic increase in malaria mortality in each of the studied populations. After the emergence of

No Plasmodium falciparum Chloroquine Resistance Transporter and Artemisinin Resistance Mutations, Haiti [PDF]

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We obtained 78 human blood samples from areas in Haiti with high transmission of malaria and found no drug resistance–associated mutations in Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter and Kelch 13 genes.

Prevalence of molecular markers of chloroquine resistance in malaria parasites in East Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesJournal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Background: Malaria is a serious global public health problem, which is caused by genus Plasmodium. Resistance of the human malaria parasite to antimalarial drugs is a public health concern in malaria endemic countries.

Chloroquine‐Resistant Malaria [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2001
The development of chloroquine as an antimalarial drug and the subsequent evolution of drug-resistant Plasmodium strains had major impacts on global public health in the 20th century. In P. falciparum, the cause of the most lethal human malaria, chloroquine resistance is linked to multiple mutations in PfCRT, a protein that likely functions as a ...

Simple Molecular Methods for Early Detection of Chloroquine Drug Resistance in Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Introduction: Malaria is a human disease of which causes high morbidity and mortality. In Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the resistance to antimalarial drugs, especially chloroquine (CQ) is one of the paramount factors contributing to the global ...

Lack of Evidence for Chloroquine-Resistant Plasmodium falciparum Malaria, Leogane, Haiti

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Haiti is considered chloroquine susceptible, although resistance transporter alleles associated with chloroquine resistance were recently detected.

Patterns of chloroquine use and resistance in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review of household survey and molecular data

open access: yesMalaria Journal, 2011
Background As a result of widespread chloroquine and sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance, 90% of sub-Saharan African countries had adopted policies of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for treatment of uncomplicated malaria by 2007.
