Application Comment Organism
medicine study on prevalence and frequency of dihydrofolate reductase and dihydropteroate synthetase mutations associated with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance at surveillance sites in Southern Mozambique. Frequency of dihydrofolate triple mutation increased from 0.26 in 1999 to 0.96 in 2003, remaining high in 2004. Parasites with both dihydrofolate reductase triple mutation and dihydropteroate synthetase double mutations had increased in 2001, but decreased by 2004. The peaking of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance markers in 2001 coincided with a sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistant malaria epidemic in neighboring regions Plasmodium falciparum
