Fitness costs and the rapid spread of kelch13-C580Y substitutions conferring artemisinin resistance
- Alternative title:
- Do fitness costs explain the rapid spread of kelch13-C580Y substitutions conferring artemisinin resistance?
- Abstract:
-
Fitness costs are key determinants of whether drug resistance alleles establish and how fast they spread within populations. More than 125 different kelch13 alleles, each containing a different amino acid substitution, have arisen in SE Asian malaria parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) populations under artemisinin selection over the past 15 years in a dramatic example of a soft selective event. However, just one of these alleles (C580Y) is now outcompeting other alleles in multiple different co...
