Figure. P. falciparum endemicity and the spread of drug resistance.

Figure

Malaria is endemic in the countries highlighted in light blue. Resistance to antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine (CQ) and pyrimethamine is widespread (darker blue), while resistance to artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) is spreading. A new P. falciparum strain, PfPailin, that is resistant to artemisinin plus piperaquine, has been found. Data presented in the map are adapted from (7, 8).
