Fig. 2. : location of the ~100 Kb segment present in the seventh chromosome of Plasmodium falciparum harbouring the transporter genes, Pfcrt and var gene. Further ~36 Kb segment is highlighted encompassing the eight transporter genes including the Pfcrt gene and a more schematic view of the Pfcrt gene with its 13 exons and the K76T mutation is highlighted. The five amino acids present from 72-76 position in exon 2 characterise the resistant (CVIET and SVMNT) and sensitive (CVMNK) chloroquine resistance Pfcrt haplotypes.
