Convenient screening for drug resistance mutations from historical febrile malaria samples across Kenya

John Magudha, Leonard Ndwiga, Mercy Yvonne Akinyi…·Lynette Isabella Ochola‐Oyier

This study screens historical febrile malaria samples from Kenya to track antimalarial resistance mutations over time, finding no WHO-validated artemisin resistance mutations but high prevalence of other resistance markers.
