Compendium of molecular markers for antimalarial drug resistance
Published: 10/12/2025
The Compendium of molecular markers for antimalarial drug resistance provides a consolidated and up-to-date source of knowledge on genetic alterations associated with antimalarial drug resistance. Developed to guide national malaria programmes and researchers, the compendium offers a structured framework for prioritizing markers and improving the consistency of molecular surveillance. It also highlights critical knowledge gaps to guide and prioritize future research efforts.
