Editor’s summary
The work documents the prevalence of SNPs-haplotypes in genes that might be involved in anti-malarial drug resistance in P. vivax clinical isolates circulating in 14 different sites of Pakistan. The emergence of drug resistance in P. vivax isolates is a very important factor in its association with severe and fatal malaria.

Editor’s summary
This paper uses extant data on the anti-malarial drug SP in spatio-temporal models to visualize both the changing spatial distribution over time and the areas of largest uncertainty and gaps in the dataset. With the current emergence of artemisinin resistance spreading in Asia, this work provides extremely important information about the historical pattern of the spread of antimalarial resistance.
