R561H and P441L observed in eastern DRC are a concern, as they are associated with delayed artemisinin-based combination therapies-clearance and candidate marker of resistance, respectively. This is consistent with previous observations of shared drug resistance profiles in parasites of that region with bordering areas of Rwanda and Uganda. The likely circulation of parasites has important implications for the ongoing surveillance of partial artemisinin-resistant P. falciparum and for future efforts to mitigate its dispersal.
