In a multicenter-project run by the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) and Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin including further clinical and research institutions in Rwanda and DR Congo, a total of 3,600 malaria patients will be recruited at nine sentinel sites and in two recruitment rounds. Mutations of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum predicting artemisinin resistance (K13 gene, MDR1 gene) will be genotyped. Alongside sample collection, patients will be interviewed, questionnaire-based, on potential determinants of emerging artemisinin resistance, including, among others, preferred health care procedures in case of sickness, sources of antimalarial drug consumption, herbal remedies, socio-economic status. The analysis of determinants of artemisinin resistance will be conducted for the whole sample population and stratified by country.
