Analysis of Plasmodium falciparum Pfcrt and Pfmdr1 genes in parasite isolates from asymptomatic individuals in Southeast Nigeria 11 years after withdrawal of chloroquine

BACKGROUND: A reversal of chloroquine (CQ) resistance following a period of withdrawal has raised the possibility of its re-introduction.
