Abstract
Drug resistance tests were performed with 171 strains of P. falciparum obtained from the Amazon Region [Brazil] using chloroquine, mefloquine, amodiazuine and quinine. Tests lasted about 24 hours and the drug solutions were prepared just before use. Rather show high precentage of resistance to chloroquine (83%) whereas nearly all strains were shown to be sensitive to mefloquine (97.7%). For both amodiaquine and quinine sensitivities were of 51.0% and 56.5% respectively.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
