Impact of dhps mutations on sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine protective efficacy and implications for malaria chemoprevention

Abstract Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) is recommended for perennial malaria chemoprevention in young children in high burden areas across Africa. Mutations in the dihydropteroate synthase (dhps) gene (437 G/540E/581 G) associated with sulfadoxine resistance vary regionally, but their effect on SP p...
