Drug-Resistant Malaria Parasites Introduced into Madagascar from Comoros Islands

To determine risk for drug-resistant malaria parasites entering Madagascar from Comoros Islands, we screened travelers. For the 141 Plasmodium falciparum isolates detected by real-time PCR, frequency of mutant alleles of genes associated with resistance to chloroquine and pyrimethamine was high. Int...

International-level antimalarial policy and a regional antimalarial forum are needed.
