Abstract
Summary Three months after the initiation of a test project wherein pyrimethaminised salt was distributed among the population in a holoendemic malaria region in Netherlands New Guinea, Plasmodium falciparum appeared to have developed resistance to pyrimethamine. This strain also was found to be cross-resistant to proguanil (Paludrine®).Keywords
