Analysis of Plasmodium falciparum Na + /H + exchanger ( pfnhe1 ) polymorphisms among imported African malaria parasites isolated in Wuhan, Central China
2019
Background
Quinine (QN) remains an effective drug for malaria treatment. However, quinine resistance (QNR) in Plasmodium falciparum has been reported in many malaria-endemic regions particularly in African countries. Genetic polymorphism of the P. falciparum Na+/H+ exchanger (pfnhe1) is considered to influence QN susceptibility. Here, ms4760 alleles of pfnhe1 were analysed from imported African P. falciparum parasites isolated from returning travellers in Wuhan, Central China.
