Rational deployment of antimalarial drugs in Africa: should first-line combination drugs be reserved for paediatric malaria cases? [PDF]
Artemisinin-based combination therapy is exerting novel selective pressure upon populations of Plasmodium falciparum across Africa. Levels of resistance to non-artemisinin partner drugs differ among parasite populations, and so the artemisinins are not ...
