Artemisinin resistance in threatens the remarkable efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapies worldwide. Thus, greater insight into the resistance mechanism using monitoring tools is essential. The ring-stage survival assay is used for phenotyping artemisinin-resistance or decreased artemisinin sensitivity. Here, we review the progress of this measurement assay and explore its limitations and potential applications.
青蒿素耐药性在 威胁着全球青蒿素联合疗法的显著疗效。因此,使用监测工具深入了解耐药机制至关重要。环早期生存测定法用于表型分析青蒿素耐药性或青蒿素敏感性降低。在此,我们综述了该测定方法的进展,并探讨了其局限性和潜在应用。
