摘要

Delayed clearance of Plasmodium falciparum by artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) has already been observed for African isolates. Here, we aimed to investigate the prevalence, among travelers returning from African countries, of polymorphisms in two genes correlated with delayed parasite clearance (encoding P. falciparum Kelch 13 [PfK13] and ubiquitin-specific protease 1 [pfubp1]) reported in eastern China and to provide baseline data for antimalarial drug resistance (ART) surveillance and evaluation. A total of 153 filter paper blood spots collected in 2017-2019 from patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum cases in Anhui and Shandong Provinces were included in this study. Among them, 3.3% (5/153) of the isolates carried PfK13 mutations, and 3 of them harbored the same synonymous mutation, C469C. A total of 13.1% (20/153) of the isolates were found to contain pfubp1 mutations, and all were nonsynonymous. The pfubp1 genotypes associated with ART that occurred in this study included E1528D (6.5% [10/153]) and D1525E (2.6% [4/ 153]). However, a high prevalence of the previously unreported mutation E1531D (5.9% [9/153]) was also detected. In addition, two types of deletions (encoding KID and KIE, respectively) and two types of insertions (encoding KYE and KYDKYD, respectively) were found in 16 isolates and 6 isolates, respectively. This study showed limited variation in PfK13 among travelers returning from African countries and suggested other potential molecular markers, such as pfubp1, for use in the surveillance of African isolates in ACT susceptibility studies. Further clinical trial research is under way to investigate these PfK13 and pfubp1 mutations, as well as other candidate molecular markers, and their roles in delaying parasite clearance.
