The Question
How can new developments in evolutionary genetics and population biology contribute to understanding the development of anti-malarial drug resistance?
What we found
Recent advances have improved our understanding of the dynamics of resistance in P.falciparum, but models also must evolve to consider the parasite population structure among other demographic processes.
Why it matters
Understanding the mechanisms of drug resistance contributes to efforts to preserve life-saving antimalarials.
