Fast-spreading malaria parasite mutations in Uganda may weaken Africa's most widely used malaria therapy
Researchers searching for genetic clues to the growing problem of malaria drug resistance have identified new mutations associated with the parasite's decreased susceptibility to current treatment. By sequencing the whole genomes of malaria parasites from the blood of hundreds of infected people in Uganda, a team of researchers led by scientists at Brown University found that a cluster of genetic…
