Assessing the cost-benefit effect of a plasmodium falciparum drug resistance mutation on parasite growth In vitro

Plasmodium falciparum mutations associated with antimalarial resistance may be beneficial for parasites under drug pressure, although they may also cause a fitness cost. We herein present an in vitro model showing how this combined effect on parasite growth varies with the drug concentration and sug...
