Genetic diversity of the Plasmodium falciparum GTP-cyclohydrolase 1, dihydrofolate reductase and dihydropteroate synthetase genes reveals new insights into sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine antimalarial drug resistance.

Plasmodium falciparum parasites resistant to antimalarial treatments have hindered malaria disease control.
