Evidence of triple mutant Pfdhps ISGNGA haplotype in Plasmodium falciparum isolates from North-east India: An analysis of sulfadoxine resistant haplotype selection

Conclusion This study suggests that sulfadoxine resistant isolates are still migrating from its epicenter to the other parts of Southeast Asia and hence control and elimination of the drug resistant isolates have become impedimental. Moreover, P. falciparum populations in different areas may undergo selection of particular sulfadoxine resistant haplotypes either in the presence of drug or after its removal to maintain their plasticity.
