Abstrakt:	Background: Malaria is a parasitic disease caused by a hematozoan of the genus Plasmodium. Early diagnosis followed by effective treatment is one of the keys to control this disease. In Madagascar, after more than 60 years of use for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria, chloroquine (CQ) was abandoned in favor of artesunate + amodiaquine (ASAQ) combination because of high prevalence of CQ treatment failure. Surveillance based on the assessment of therapeutic efficacy and genetic markers of resistance to antimalarials is therefore essential in order to detect the emergence of potentially resistant parasites as early as possible. In this context, our study aimed to genotype the Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter gene or Pfcrt and Plasmodium falciparum multidrug resistance gene 1 or Pfmdr1 in isolates collected from children in the district of Vatomandry. Methods: A total of 142 P. falciparum isolates collected during active case detection of malaria in children under 15 years old, between February and March of 2016 and 2017 in Vatomandry district, were analyzed. Pfcrt (K76T codon) and Pfmdr1 (N86Y codon) genotyping was carried out by polymerase chain reaction followed by enzymatic digestion (restriction fragment length polymorphism) or PCR-RFLP. Results: The successful rates of amplification of Pfcrt and Pfmdr1 genes were low, around 27% and 39% respectively. The prevalence of isolates carrying the mutant Pfcrt K76T codon and the mutant Pfmdr1 N86Y codon was 2.6% [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.1 - 15.0%] and 36% [95% CI: 23.7 - 49.7%] respectively. Conclusion: Despite the limited number of samples analyzed, our study highlighted the circulation of isolates carrying both the mutant Pfcrt K76T and Pfmdr1 N86Y alleles. Although the prevalence of mutations in Pfcrt and Pfmdr1 genes that we observed was low, other studies should be carried out in order to follow the evolution of these markers in time and space. The use of more sensitive methods will better characterize P. falciparum strains circulating in Madagascar. Artesunate-amodiaquine is used as a first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in the country; it is also crucial to monitor the other codons, i.e. 184 and 1246 of the Pfmdr1 gene, implicated in the resistance of P. falciparum to amodiaquine in Africa.
