Genetic background determines allele-specific Pfkelch13-mediated artemisinin tolerance and persistence in Plasmodium falciparum
Artemisinin-based combination therapies are the frontline treatment for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, but their efficacy is threatened by Artemisinin partial resistance (ARTR). ARTR in Plasmodium falciparum is mediated by Pfkelch13 (k13) mutations but remains rare in West Africa. A critical question is whether short-t...
