Submicroscopic gametocytes and the transmission of antifolate-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in Western Kenya.

Submicroscopic gametocytes and the transmission of antifolate-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in Western Kenya.

<h4>Background</h4>Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the dhfr and dhps genes are associated with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) treatment failure and gametocyte carriage. This may result in enhanced transmission of mutant malaria parasites, as previously shown for chloroquine re...
