aThe 106/1-derived lines were generated by Cooper and colleagues [11, 12, 14] and the K1AM line was produced by Johnson et al. [15].

bThe susceptibilities of the parasite lines to CQ, quinine (QN), and quinidine (QD) were collated from Cooper et al. [11, 12, 14] and Johnson et al. [15]. The drug resistance index is the IC50 for a drug in a given strain or line divided by the IC50 determined in the same study in a drug-sensitive reference strain (i.e., 106/1, HON, or GC03). The indices were calculated from a single study or are the mean of values from two (± range/2) or ≥ three (± SEM) studies.

cResidues that differ from the wild-type amino acid sequence (e.g., the PfCRT sequence carried by 3D7, D10, and HON parasites) are shown in bold italics.

dCQ-resistant parasites are hypersensitive to amantadine [13, 15].
