Immediate pools of malaria infections at diagnosis combined with targeted deep sequencing accurately quantifies frequency of drug resistance mutations
Antimalarial resistance surveillance in sub-Saharan Africa is often constrained by logistical and financial challenges limiting its breadth and frequency. At two sites in Ghana, we have piloted a streamlined sample pooling process created immediately by sequential addition of positive malaria cases...

Antimalarial resistance surveillance in sub-Saharan Africa is often constrained by logistical and financial challenges limiting its breadth and frequency. At two sites in Ghana, we have piloted a streamlined sample pooling process created immediately by sequential addition of positive malaria cases at the time of diagnostic testing. This streamlined process involving a single tube minimized clinical and laboratory work and provided accurate frequencies of all known drug resistance mutations after high-throughput targeted sequencing using molecular inversion probes. Our study validates this method as a cost-efficient, accurate and highly-scalable approach for drug resistance mutation monitoring that can potentially be applied to other infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. |
