Rationale and Abstract
Artemisinin, which is used in the treatment of Plasmodium falciparum, has been shown to acquire resistance through mutations in the K13 gene. This study succeeded in establishing a strain showing artemisinin resistance without mutation of the K13 gene, so this project will identify a novel artemisinin resistance gene using property analysis and genetic methods.
