Molecular evidence for relapse of an imported Plasmodium ovale wallikeri infection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The use of anti-malarial drug combinations with artemisinin or with one of its derivatives is now widely recommended to overcome drug resistance in falciparum as well as vivax malaria. The fixed oral dose artemisinin-naphthoquine combination (ANQ, ARCO) is a newer artemisinin-based combination (ACT) therapy ...
