Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of chloroquine resistance markers in malaria within Douala and Buea, Cameroon, in June 2020, focusing on the influence of amodiaquine introduction on drug-resistant alleles.
- Researchers collected blood samples from malaria-positive individuals, extracting DNA to identify species and analyze specific resistance genes using PCR methods.
- Findings revealed that the dominant malaria species was prevalent, with a significant decrease in mutant alleles compared to earlier studies, indicating a trend towards increased sensitivity of malaria parasites to treatment in Cameroon.
