Standardizing the measurement of parasite clearance in falciparum malaria: the parasite clearance estimator

Jennifer A Flegg, Philippe J Guerin, Nicholas J White, Kasia Stepniewska Malaria Journal 2011, 10:339 (10 November 2011)

The paper presents a new tool to estimate the parasite clearance rate of Plasmodium falciparum in subjects under treatment with an artemisinin-based combination.

A microarray-based system for the simultaneous analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms in human genes involved in the metabolism of anti-malarial drugs

Eva Hodel, Serej D Ley, Weihong Qi, Frédéric Ariey, Blaise Genton, Hans-Peter Beck Malaria Journal 2009, 8:285 (9 December 2009)

As part of a search for new pharmacogenetics markers for drug resistance, this microarray methodology appears not robust enough as it stands, but it is a step in the right direction

FlexiChip package: an universal microarray with a dedicated analysis software for high-thoughput SNPs detection linked to anti-malarial drug resistance

Nicolas Steenkeste, Marie-Agnès Dillies, Nimol Khim, Odile Sismeiro, Sophy Chy, Pharath Lim, Andreas Crameri, Christiane Bouchier, Odile Mercereau-Puijalon, Hans-Peter Beck, Mallika Imwong, Arjen M Dondorp, Duong Socheat, Christophe Rogier, Jean-Yves Coppée, Frédéric Ariey Malaria Journal 2009, 8:229 (15 October 2009)

This paper describes a new microarray system to detect mutations associated with resistance to anti-malarials. Such microarrays could be employed to monitor P. falciparum drug resistance markers with greater cost effectiveness and the possibility for high throughput analysis.
