To assess the level of resistance to chloroquine (CQ) of Plasmodium falciparum in The Gambia in 1995-1996 we measured susceptibility in vivo by quantifying parasitaemia of children with mild malaria on days 4 and 8 after treatment. Pretreatment blood samples were used for susceptibility testingin vi
Mutations in the Plasmodium falciparum pfcrt gene on chromosome 7 and possibly mutations in pfmdr1 on chromosome 5 have a role in conferring resistance against chloroquine (CQ), as do mutations of pfdhfr on chromosome 4 and pfdhps on chromosome 8 in terms of resistance against sulfadoxine/pyrimetham
