 STOP-AMDR: Molecular surveillance for operationally relevant genetic polymorphisms of P. falciparum in Uganda
REFNo: HS7165ES

Aim
To measure the prevalence of P. falciparum genetic polymorphisms associated with antimalarial drug-resistance at selected locations in Uganda before and after introducing MFTs.

Specific objectives
1. To determine the baseline prevalence of key P. falciparum genetic polymorphisms including pfk13, pfcrt, pfmdr1, pfdhfr, pfdhps, pfcytB and pfpm2/3 in study sites before MFT introduction.
2. To monitor changes in the prevalence of these genetic polymorphisms at 24 months post-MFT introduction to detect shifts in resistance patterns.
3. To assess the prevalence of pfhrp2/3 deletions at study sites at baseline and at 24 months post-MFT introduction.
4. To map the geographic distribution of resistance-associated polymorphisms.
5. To provide actionable recommendations for malaria treatment policy and surveillance.
