Genetic Variability of Plasmodium malariae dihydropteroate synthase (dhps) in Four Asian Countries

The dihydropteroate synthase (dhps) genes of 44 P. malariae strains from four Asian countries were isolated. Only a limited number of polymorphisms were observed. Comparison with homologous mutations in other Plasmodium species showed that these polymorphisms are unlikely to be associated with sulfa...
