Table 4.

Prevalence of single, double, triple, quadruple and quintuple mutation in Tanzania and Senegal

Single mutation (%) Double mutation (%) Triple mutation (%) Quadruple mutation (%) Quintuple mutation (%)
Senegal 20 22 44 52 0
Tanzania 2 2 48 58 0
p value 0.01 0.005 0.84 0.7 0

Mutant alleles from dhfr, dhps genes were combined to make the single mutation (S108N), double mutation (dhfr C59R/S108N), triple mutation (dhfr N51I/C59R/S108 N), quadruple mutation (dhfr N51I/C59R/S108N dhps A437G) and quintuple mutation (N51I/C59R/S108N dhfr and A437G/K540E dhps)
