Table 2 Frequency of mutations associated with resistance to different anti-malarial drugs, from Bijagós P. falciparum isolates (n = 15, sample collection in 2018) and P. falciparum isolates from West Africa (Total n = 218, Ivory Coast n = 70—sample collection in 2013, The Gambia n = 148—sample collection in 2008 and 2014).

From: Population dynamics and drug resistance mutations in Plasmodium falciparum on the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau
