Following CQ withdrawal for anti-malarial treatment, studies across malaria-endemic countries have shown a range of responses. In some areas, CQ sensitive parasites re-emerge, and in others, mutant haplotypes persist. Active surveillance of resistance mutations in clinical parasites is essential to inform treatment regimens; this effort requires fast, reliable, and cost-effective methods that work on a variety of sample types with reagents accessible in malaria-endemic countries.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Quantitative PCR followed by High-Resolution Melt (HRM) analysis was performed in a field setting to assess <jats:italic>pfcrt<\/jats:italic> mutations in two groups of clinical samples from Southwestern Uganda. Group 1 samples (119 in total) were collected in 2010 as predominantly Giemsa-stained slides; Group 2 samples (125 in total) were collected in 2015 as blood spots on filter paper. The Rotor-Gene Q instrument was utilized to assess the impact of different PCR-HRM reagent mixes and the detection of mixed haplotypes present in the clinical samples. Finally, the prevalence of the wild type (CVMNK) and resistant <jats:italic>pfcrt<\/jats:italic> haplotypes (CVIET and SVMNT) was evaluated in this understudied Southwestern region of Uganda.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The sample source (i.e. Giemsa-stained slides or blood spots) and type of LCGreen-based reagent mixes did not impact the success of PCR-HRM. The detection limit of 10<jats:sup>\u2212\u20095<\/jats:sup> ng and the ability to identify mixed haplotypes as low as 10\u2009% was similar to other HRM platforms. The CVIET haplotype predominated in the clinical samples (66\u2009%, 162\/244); however, there was a large regional variation between the sample groups (94\u2009% CVIET in Group 1 and 44\u2009% CVIET in Group 2).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The HRM-based method exhibits the flexibility required to conduct reliable assessment of resistance alleles from various sample types generated during the clinical management of malaria.
