Artemisinin resistance in Plasmodium falciparum is associated with nonsynonymous mutations in the Kelch 13 (K13) propeller domain. We found that 12.1% (8/66) of clinical P. falciparum isolates from Huye district, Rwanda, exhibited K13 mutations, including R561H, a validated resistance marker. K13 mutations appear to be increasing in this region.
青蒿素抗药性在恶性疟原虫中与半胱氨酸蛋白酶 13(Kelch 13,K13)的螺旋桨结构域中的非同义突变有关。我们发现,来自卢旺达胡耶区的 66 例临床疟原虫分离株中有 12.1%(8/66)出现 K13 突变,包括已证实的耐药标志物 R561H。该地区的 K13 突变似乎正在增加。
