Resistance to chloroquine and mefloquine has been identified in which Plasmodium spp.?
a. P. ovale
b. P. vivax
c. P. falciparum
d. P. malariae
C
Chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum is present in almost all endemic areas other than Central America and the Caribbean. Increasing resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine and mefloquine has also been identified in P. falciparum. Therefore treatment with artemisinin combination treatments (ACTs), including artesunate-mefloquine, artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem), and artesunate-amodiaquine, has been instituted against P. falciparum.
