Opis:
Chemotherapy is the mainstay in malaria control and management. For some time, chloroquine (CQ) was a drug of choice for the treatment of malaria. It was effective against all forms of malaria, cheap and readily available. The increased resistance of malaria parasites to CQ led to widespread abandonment of the drug in African and Asian countries on the prompting of the World Health Organization. Currently, artemisinin-based combination therapy is the gold standard for the treatment of malaria. This study investigates the presence of the Plasmodium falciparum Chloroquine Resistance Transporter (PfCRT) mutant gene, a molecular marker responsible for CQ resistance in malaria parasites. A total of 369 pregnant women were microscopically screened for malaria infection using thin and thick blood films stained with Giemsa. Subsequently, malaria parasite DNA was extracted from the blood of malaria positive participants. The PfCRT gene was amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism analysis of the gene was performed to confirm mutant forms. The results showed that 251 (68.0%) of the participants had Plasmodium falciparum in their blood. Molecular examination revealed the presence of PfCRT mutant genes in 28% of the study population. Notwithstanding the decline in the prevalence of PfCRT T76 mutation since the antimalarial policy change in Nigeria, the 28% prevalence recorded in this study is considered high after ten years of the withdrawal of CQ in the treatment of uncomplicated malaria.

Opis:
As a result of widespread resistance to chloroquine (CQ) and sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) has been recommended as a first-line anti-malarial regimen in Côte d’Ivoire since 2005. A thorough understanding of the molecular bases of P. falciparum resistance to existing drugs is therefore needed. The aims of this study were to analyze the in vitro sensitivity of P. falciparum field isolates from Abobo to CQ, pyronaridine (PYR) and dihydroartemisinine (DHA), and to investigate the polymorphisms associated with drug resistance. The standard in vitro drug sensitivity microtechnique recommended by the WHO was used to assess the sensitivity of Plasmodium falciparum isolates collected in December 2006. The Pfcrt haplotype 76 was analysed by PCR-RFLP while Pfatpase 6 amplification products were sequenced. Associations between drug sensitivity and parasite gene polymorphisms were evaluated with Cohen’s kappa test. The correlation between the IC50 values for different drugs was assessed by the coefficient of determination (r2). Significance was assumed at p<0.05. Of 128 in vitro tests performed, 112 (87.5%) were successful. Of the isolates, 56.2% were resistant for CQ and 48% for PYR. One isolate (3.6%) demonstrated reduced DHA sensitivity (IC50 higher than 10 nM). The mutant K76T pfcrt codon, present in 90% of DNA fragments analyzed, was associated with CQ-R (ĸ=0.76). The N669Y (16.1%), D734Y (28.6%) and D734H (1.8%) isolates were found to have mutant Pfatpase6, however, these mutations were not associated with diminished DHA sensitivity (k=0.01). These high levels of antimalarial drug resistance in Abobo (Côte d’Ivoire) demand further studies of drug efficacy across the whole country.
