Abstract:

Malaria is a major tropical disease prevalent in Africa and Southeast Asia, which seriously threatens the health of local residents. The emergence and spread of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to anti-malaria drugs has challenged the realization of global malaria elimination goal. Current monitoring methods for P. falciparum drug resistance mainly include in vivo pharmacodynamic test, in vitro drug sensitivity test, and method of molecular markers of drug-resistance, of which the detection of molecular markers is widely used. This paper reviews research progress in the detection method using molecular markers for drug-resistance of P. falciparum resistance.

Key words: Plasmodium falciparum, Anti-malarial drugs, Molecular marker
