First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether the malaria parasite in Ethiopia is becoming resistant to artemisinin, the main drug used to treat it. Researchers tested 277 patients across five sites, checking if parasites were still in the blood three days after treatment and looking for a specific genetic marker. The goal was to confirm if drug resistance is present, which could affect how malaria is treated in the region.
