Abstract

Malaria is caused by a parasitic infection of the genus Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum is the cause of almost all deaths caused by malaria. Malaria problem has been exacerbated in recent years by the development and rapid spread of P. falciparum resistance to antimalarial drugs. Resistance to antimalarial drugs is caused by genetic factors from P. falciparum, one of which is due to polymorphisms in the Pfmdr1 gene. Pfmdr1 gene is a potential marker of resistance to several antimalarial drugs. The aim of this study was to detect the Pfmdr1 gene polymorphism in P. falciparum for resistance to first-line treatment in malaria sufferers. This type of research was an observational research. The method used is PCR and direct sequencing. Samples used were 9 resistant samples and 1 negative control sample in the form of whole blood. The results of the study showed that samples 1 to 9 formed DNA bands with a size of 590 bp targeting the Pfmdr1 gene. The sequencing results analysed at codon 86 showed no changes in nucleotide bases or amino acids, so no polymorphism occurred in the sample. This suggests that the polymorphism in the Pfmdr1 codon 86 gene was not the cause of resistance to first-line antimalarial treatment in falciparum malaria patients Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine (DHP) + Primaquine.
