Fascinating. However, I am still puzzled by the emphatic use of the term 'artemisinin-resistant' to describe these parasites. The drug clearly still works. True resistance would have been reproduced using isolates and isolate-derived strains in vitro. More importantly,true resistance would lead to treatment failures all over the place. Is there a demonstrable increase in drug failure directly associated with these parasites?
