Spatiotemporal mathematical modelling of mutations of the dhps gene in African Plasmodium falciparum.
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum has repeatedly evolved resistance to first-line anti-malarial drugs, thwarting efforts to control and eliminate the disease and in some period of time this contributed largely to an increase in mortality. Here a mathematical model was developed to map the spatiotemp...
