Molecular Assessment of Artemisinin Resistance Markers in Eastern and Western Border Areas of Myanmar
Molecular Assessment of Artemisinin Resistance Markers, K13 Kelch Propeller and Multi-drug Resistant Gene Polymorphism in Eastern and Western Border Areas of Myanmar
- Artemisinin resistance have been documented in Myanmar and Myanmar artemisinin resistance containment measures have been launched since 2009-2010.
- It is important to monitor the spread and magnitude of artemisinin resistant malaria in Myanmar.
- So, day-3 surveillance study have been conducted.
- Recently artemisinin resistant molecular marker, K13 have been identified and it was used as a tool in this study.
