Despite the island\u2019s substantial malaria burden, recent data on artemisinin partial resistance are limited, raising concerns about the potential emergence of resistant parasites.

Non-synonymous and synonymous mutations were detected in 1.8% (17\/963) and 6.2% (60\/963) of isolates, respectively, whereas one isolate (0.1%) carried double mutations. Of the 18 mutations identified, 5 had not been previously reported. The two most frequent polymorphisms in Madagascar were the synonymous mutations C469C (3.0%, 29\/963) and P417P (2.8%, 27\/963). None of the WHO-validated artemisinin partial resistance markers were detected.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides an updated baseline of pfkelch13 polymorphisms in Madagascar, with no evidence of artemisinin partial resistance emergence. Importantly, no parasites harbouring a validated artemisinin resistance marker were detected across the regions sampled, suggesting that resistant parasites have not yet become established. These findings provide a valuable baseline for future genomic surveillance efforts aimed at the early detection of mutations associated with artemisinin partial resistance.<\/jats:p>\n
