Towards an Understanding of the Mechanism of Pyrimethamine-Sulfadoxine Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum: Genotyping of Dihydrofolate Reductase and Dihydropteroate Synthase of Kenyan Parasites

The antifolate combination of pyrimethamine (PM) and sulfadoxine (SD) is the last affordable drug combination available for wide-scale treatment of falciparum malaria in Africa.
