In this study, genetic variations in drug resistance markers of <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> were determined in parasites from asymptomatic populations located in three geographically dispersed townships of Myanmar by PCR and sequencing. Mutations in dihydrofolate reductase (<i>pfdhfr</i>), dihydropteroate synthase (<i>pfdhps</i>), chloroquine resistance transporter (<i>pfcrt</i>), multidrug ...[more]
