"The K13-propeller gene polymorphisms associated with decreased artemisinin parasite clearance reported in Southeast Asia include C580Y, R539T, R543I, and Y493H [ xref ]."

"The increased K13-propeller gene mutations previously associated with DPC among P. falciparum populations from 2013 to 2014 in Grande Comore (a ~20 % increment) may present new challenges in the ACT efficacy in the future [ xref , xref ]."

sparser
"Out of the 13 samples suspected of recrudescence, 5 (38%) samples were positively amplified as P. falciparum, with polymorphisms in the k13-propeller gene detected."

sparser
"Although wide-scale studies that analyzed P . falciparum isolates from numerous sub-Saharan African countries including Ethiopia found no mutations in the parasite’s K13-propeller gene, which is associated with artemisinin resistance in Southeast Asia [ xref , xref ] the threat is clear."

sparser
"However, resistance has been shown to occur primarily during the ring stage of parasite development due to multiple forms of mutations in the Kelch PF3D7_1343700 (K13-propeller) helix domain on chromosome 13 [70]."

sparser
"Our observation is consistent with those in previous reports from Kenya [ xref ], Angola [ xref ], Mozambique [ xref ], Senegal [ xref ], Ugandan [ xref ] as well as other areas of Sub-Saharan Africa [ xref ], Caribbean’s Haiti [ xref ], and South Asia’ Bangladesh [ xref ], where the K13-propeller gene mutations associated with artemisinin resistance were absent."

sparser
"Whereas there is the most reliable evidence linking mutations in the Kelch domain protein (K13-propeller; PF3D7_1343700) with parasite tolerance to artemisinin [ xref ], insufficient knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of artemisinin action hampers a definitive conclusion."

"To confirm that K13-propeller polymorphism is a molecular marker of clinical artemisinin resistance, parasite-clearance half-lives in patients were correlated with their K13 alleles."

sparser
"Not only is the emergence and spread of ART-resistant isolate in South East Asian regions a matter of concern but also the occurrence of low-frequency candidate mutations in the k13-propeller gene across certain regions of North-Eastern India could draw the state of Odisha's attention."

"However, resistance has been shown to occur primarily during the ring stage of parasite development due to multiple forms of mutations in the Kelch PF3D7_1343700 (K13-propeller) helix domain on chromosome 13 [ xref ]."

sparser
"Unfortunately, there is no alternative to the current regimen ACT for the severe uncomplicated malaria and also no significant research has yet been done on K13-propeller polymorphism; hence, it is essential to monitor the efficacy of the Artemisinin derivative through molecular surveillance study in the selected areas of the state during the year 2018."

"The identification of isolates with increased ex vivo RSA rates in the absence of K13-propeller mutations and no positivity at day three requires further investigation."

sparser
"The presence of K13 propeller mutations within Africa, where parasite clearance is generally rapid, suggests that not all K13 propeller mutations are associated with resistance, that secondary loci are involved in resistance and found in Asia but not in Africa thus far, or that the resistance phenotype is masked by high levels of antimalarial immunity."
