Introduction: the diversity of Plasmodium falciparum genotypes affects the dynamics of malaria transmission and is thought to be one of the factors hampering malaria control efforts. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity and chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine resistance markers in malaria endemic areas of Burkina Faso.
Methods: in a cross-sectional study, populations residing in Nouna health district were randomly recruited.

Objectives: This study explored 11 years of malaria data from mandatory reporting in Gyeonggi Province, Korea, to provide information for prevention strategies by linkage to nationwide health claims data.
Methods: Reported malaria cases in Gyeonggi Province from 2011 to 2021 were linked to medical usage data from the National Health Insurance Database. Data about hospitalization, antibiotic prescription and duration, malarial species, and sociodemographic information of the cases were included.

Chloroquine is still used as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium vivax malaria in India and resistance to this therapy can act as a major hurdle for malaria elimination. It is difficult to monitor drug-efficacy and drug resistance through in vivo and in vitro studies in case of Plasmodium vivax so analysis of molecular markers serves as an important tool to track resistance. Molecular methods that are currently in use for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms in resistant genes including Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Realtime-Polymerase chain reaction require highly sophisticated labs and are time consuming.
