Résumé
Gabon is a malaria-threatened country with a stable and hyperendemic transmission of Plasmodium falciparum monoinfection. Malaria drug resistance is widely spread in many endemic countries around the world, including Gabon. The molecular surveillance of drug resistance to antifolates and artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is one of the strategies for combating malaria. As Plasmodium parasites continue to develop resistance to currently available anti-malarial drugs, this study evaluated the frequency of the polymorphisms and genetic diversity associated with this phenomenon among the parasites isolates in Gabon. To assess the spread of resistant haplotypes among the malaria-infected population of Libreville, single nucleotide polymorphisms linked to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and artemisinin drugs resistance were screened for P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr), P. falciparum dihydropteroate synthase (Pfdhps), and P. falciparum kelch 13-propeller domain (Pfk13) point mutations. The analysis of 70 malaria-positive patient samples screened for polymorphism showed 92.65% (n = 63) mutants vs. 7.35% (n = 5) wild parasite population in Pfdhfr, with high prevalence mutations at S High polymorphism frequencies of Pfdhfr and Pfdhps genes were observed, with alternative alanine/phenylalanine mutation at S

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Gabon is a malaria-threatened country with a stable and hyperendemic transmission of Plasmodium falciparum monoinfection. Malaria drug resistance is widely spread in many endemic countries around the world, including Gabon. The molecular surveillance of drug resistance to antifolates and artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) is one of the strategies for combating malaria. As Plasmodium parasites continue to develop resistance to currently available anti-malarial drugs, this study evaluated the frequency of the polymorphisms and genetic diversity associated with this phenomenon among the parasites isolates in Gabon.
METHODS
METHODS
To assess the spread of resistant haplotypes among the malaria-infected population of Libreville, single nucleotide polymorphisms linked to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and artemisinin drugs resistance were screened for P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (Pfdhfr), P. falciparum dihydropteroate synthase (Pfdhps), and P. falciparum kelch 13-propeller domain (Pfk13) point mutations.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The analysis of 70 malaria-positive patient samples screened for polymorphism showed 92.65% (n = 63) mutants vs. 7.35% (n = 5) wild parasite population in Pfdhfr, with high prevalence mutations at S
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
High polymorphism frequencies of Pfdhfr and Pfdhps genes were observed, with alternative alanine/phenylalanine mutation at S
