New York, Jan 1 : New mutations in the malaria parasite that enhance resistance to a drug used to prevent the disease in pregnant women and children are already common in countries fighting the disease, says a new study.
Malaria is caused by parasites (Plasmodium species) which enter the blood when infected mosquitoes feed.
We need to understand how these mutations work and monitor them as part of malaria surveillance programmes, said study co-author Taane Clark from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). ....

Dec. 31 (UPI) Genetic mutations that fuel resistance to a drug intended to prevent malaria in pregnant women and children are common in countries that are fighting the disease, according to a PLOS Genetics analysis.
Mutations of a gene linked with resistance to the drug sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in the parasite that causes malaria were discovered in one-fourth of the samples collected in southeast Asia and one-third of those obtained in Africa, the researchers said. ....
