Article Abstract:

Karen Day's studies in New Guineau found that a lower malaria transmission rate compared to a Tanzanian study led to a higher incidence of P falciparum parasite inbreeding and increased inheritance of resistance to antibiotics. Efforts to decrease malaria transmission may thus increase drug resistance.
