Varying efficacy of artesunate+amodiaquine and artesunate+sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine for the treatment of uncomplicated falciparum malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo: a report of two in-vivo studies [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Very few data on anti-malarial efficacy are available from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). DRC changed its anti-malarial treatment policy to amodiaquine (AQ) and artesunate (AS) in 2005.

Mutaciones puntuales en los genes dhfr y dhps de Plasmodium falciparum de tres regiones endémicas
Introducción. La acumulación progresiva de mutaciones en los genes dhfr y dhps lleva al parásito Plasmodium falciparum a evadir la acción de la sulfadoxina-pirimetamina, situación que aumenta el nivel de resistencia del parásito a estos medicamentos y ...

Effect of Iron/Folic Acid Supplementation on the Outcome of Malaria Episodes Treated with Sulfadoxine-Pyrimethamine [PDF]
Folic acid supplementation may potentially alter the efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) treatment in children with malaria. However, there is lack of evidence fromrandomized controlled trials and effects of folic acid supplementation on clinical ...

Genetic and genomic approaches for the discovery of parasite genes involved in antimalarial drug resistance [PDF]
The biggest threat to the war on malaria is the continued evolution of drug resistance by the parasite. Resistance to almost all currently available antimalarials now exists in Plasmodium falciparum which causes the most suffering among all human malaria
