  • Molecular marker of plasmodium falciparum artemisinin resistance
    Patent number: 11732312
    Abstract: K13-propeller polymorphism is a useful molecular marker for tracking the emergence and spread of ART-resistant P. falciparum. The invention encompasses methods, compositions, and kits for detecting and genotyping Plasmodium, for example, Plasmodium falciparum. The methods, compositions, and kits can be used to detect the presence or absence of a mutated K-13 propeller nucleic acid or protein in the sample.
