Competitive facilitation of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites in pregnant women who receive preventive treatment
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 06/03/09
Harrington WE et al. - The findings support a model of parasite release and facilitation, whereby the most highly resistant parasites out-compete less fit parasite populations and overgrow under drug pressure. Use of partially effective anti-malarial agents for IPTp may exacerbate malaria infections in the setting of widespread drug resistance.
