a

Mutations in Pfcrt and Pfmdr1 gene are associated to some quinoline-based antimalarial resistance (e.g., chloroquine)

b

PfK13 is the molecular markers for artemisinin resistance

c

Mutations in Pfdhfr/Pfdhps genes are responsible for P. falciparum resistance to antifolate-cycloguanil

d

Polymorphisms in PfCytB gene were associated to atovaquone resistance
