Trends of Antimalarial Resistance in Ethiopia and its Challenge on Malaria Control Program
Abstract: Antimalarial drugs resistance is one of the major obstacles for malaria control and curtails the life-span of several drugs. Resistance to well tolerated and effective antimalarial drugs such chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) has forced the switch of national policies to artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for the treatment of falciparum malaria. The emergence of less sensitive clones of Plasmodium falciparum to the ACT drugs, shortly after its deployment, has posed a …
