Impact of transient ring-stage ART exposure on intraerythrocytic growth of P. falciparum. Parasites expressing certain genetic variants of Coronin (14) and Kelch 13 proteins (8) have increased chance of survival after a brief ring-stage pulse of ART in vitro. Other genes, such as pfap2mu and pfubp1, may also encode variant proteins conferring a similar phenotype but have not yet been fully validated. ART exposure at any other stage of intraerythrocytic development, later than 6 to 8 h postinvasion, is lethal for all genotypes. mut, mutant form; SE Asia, Southeast Asia.
