Abstract The genetic basis of Plasmodium falciparum resistance to quinine, a drug used to treat severe malaria, has long been unclear. To investigate this, here we used a human liver-chimaeric mouse model to conduct a P. falciparum genetic cross between quinine-partially resistant and quinine-sensitive parasites. Drug profiling and quantitative trait loci analyses of 120 unique recombinant progeny mapped resistance to segments on chromosomes 7 and 12, indicating a polygenic basis.
