The map shows the distribution of common SNPs for P. falciparum CQ, PYR and SDX resistant previously reported in Pahang [9], Lundu, Sarawak [8] and Sabah: Kalabakan (Tawau Division) [6, 30], Keningau & Nabawan (Interior Division) [39], Kota Kinabalu (West Coast Division) [35], aKota Marudu—present study, bKudat [35] (Kudat Division). This map was generated by using SimpleMappr online software [40]. Pfcrt, Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistant gene; Pfdhfr, Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase gene; Pfdhps, Plasmodium falciparum dihydropteroate synthase gene; CQ, chloroquine; SDX, sulphadoxine; PYR, pyrimethamine. Amino acids: A, alanine; G, glycine; I, isoleucine; K, lysine; L, leucine N, asparagine; S, serine; T, threonine.
